[superkittyballz]

[glkris]

I feel sea sick watching this.

[lilnigga42]

yall move da camera to much dang

[gstyle67]

Probably pilot whales. I've seen a few pods of them over the years here in Loveladies.

What's nice is when I was a child in the 70's and 80's, I never saw dolphins or whales on LBI. In the last 5 to 8 years - a bunch of wildlife.

[eastcoastswells]

thats so cool

i live in beach haven crest

i only saw a ccouple dolphins

[froggydaughter123]

i love lbi

[xotaraxo727]

good job and its a juvenile whale i saw it before because i go to lbi every year and i go to brant so yaya thats a juvenile.

[Redsummr08]

[xgames51]

[rhcp824]

True ZMB.HOLD YOUR FRICKIN CAMERA STEADY!

[ZMBproductions]

i Wish could get a better video. one that i hold steady but i did not see a whale this summer.

[ezebra222]

Great video, ZMB!!! It's definately a juvenile whale. Never seen a wild dolphin/porpoise slap its tail like that. Also the boat helps scale it. Too big to be a dolphin. My best guess is that it's a pygmy sperm whale. Never seen a whale myself in all the 30 years I've been going there for my week's summer vacations.

Hey, "sostellar04", where's YOUR whale video... jerk. :D

[sostellar04]

way to hold the video camera straight.

[ZMBproductions]

hey can you at least say somthing nice

[Sideler74]

I've been going to LBI since I was a kid (I'm 33) I've seen plenty of dolphins, & that's not a dolphin.

[surfingnj]

Judging by the size of the tail in the video and the small dorsal fin near the tail, it is either a Sei or Sperm whale... both which are juvenile at about 18ft. and are native to the waters off of NJ. It is not an Orca, Orca's have large dorsal fins centered on their body, where as the one in the video had a small tail dorsal fin. Orcas are also native to the Pacific and cold water,

IF IT IS A WHALE AT ALL!

My guess is it's a type of Porpoise.

[ZMBproductions]

thanks alot for the info.

[Rolo0602]

@ZMBproductions He's wrong, that was most definitely a whale, not porpoises.

[Rolo0602]

@surfingnj That was DEFINITELY NOT a porpoise/dolphin. Dolphins always swim together in a pod and they look like they're hopping out of the water and move a lot faster than that. AND you can clearly see the huge tail fin. We see dolphins all the time down the shore and they look nothing like this. This is pretty rare, especially this close to shore and it is most definitely a whale. duh.

[jackinthebox1313]

i dont think thats a whale

[jzola2]

i see dolphins at lbi all the time ivenever szeen a whale!

[solarpeanut]

thats a orca(killer whale)

[ZMBproductions]

[Rolo0602]

[Rolo0602]
