Spoon

Unlike many other whales, Spoon was not named for a pattern on her tail but for her "spoon-shaped" dorsal fin.  Her tail is fairly unique however as both tips have white patches and a large white scar is near the center of her fluke.

Spoon appears to be one of the largest whales in the population, well over 50 feet in length.  She also appears to be very wide.  Spoon is known for tremendous feeding displays where she comes up out of the water, almost high enough to see her belly button.  Her belly is completely distended, holding 1000's of gallons of water and fish.

Photos at the bottom of this page show you Spoon's feeding behavior.

Spoon is introduced as the mother of Regulus.  You see a huge humpback tail that belongs to Spoon.  Highlights of this segment include Regulus in a behavior that is as much fun as it is strange.  He hits himself with his flipper and this behavior is unique to Regulus.
