Pepper

Pepper was named just seconds after Salt was given her name.  Salt and Pepper were seen together during the first days of whale watching on the East Coast in 1976.  Salt was named for the white marks on her dorsal fin and Pepper was named for her all black dorsal fin.

 

Pepper is a co-star on  Salt & Friends, (60 minutes) a Telly Award winner and said to be the best nature program in the world. Salt & Friends opens with the story of how Salt was named and introduces Pepper, many members of Pepper's family as well as thirteen other popular and often sighted humpback whales.

20 minutes of excellent footage of the second whale to be given a name.  Pepper is seen breaching and flippering.  Pepper is then seen with her small 1992 calf, Paprika.  Pepper is well known for her tremendous feeding with a wide open mouth with her baleen plates visible and the feeding scenes will thrill any fan of Pepper.

 

Pepper is also on several of our tapes in the eleven volume series "Wonderful Whales"

Wonderful Whales Volume 3 and 8

(All Volumes $12.95 each, Volume 1 Special $10.00)

Volume 3 (Pepper and Turris flippering together and Turris breaches)

Volume 8 (Pepper and her 1998 calf Bishop are active.  Pepper breaches as does Bishop and Pepper is seen flippering)

 

A Real Whale Watch Trip-June 26, 2000 ($12.95)

On June 26, 2000 at 5 PM we left the pier and 40 minutes later sailed into the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary.  We were delighted when we spied Pepper and Habanero (her calf).  Habanero breached many times and was seen lobtailing - slamming his tail on the water.
