| Hanging mostly just below the surface, and just beginning an exhalation, Colorado is positioned alongside the boat. |
The upper jaw of a humpback has large hair follicles, called 'stovebolts' by some whalers. |

Spyhop From The Side |

 |
| With eyes on the side of the head just underwater, the whale faces the boat and gets a good look at its hull. |
Now with its side facing the boat, the whale shows its left flipper. The whale is basically standing on its tail. |

 |
| Coasting to the left just underwater, the full length of the whale, including the flippers, can be easily seen. |
Continuing after an exhalation, the dorsal fin is now top and center, with the tail on the way to the surface. |
