This blue whale is displaying a surface behavior known as logging, which usually means the whale is resting. 😴 Whales and dolphins are voluntary breathers. Unlike humans who breathe without thinking about it, even while in deep sleep, whales and dolphins must actively keep their blow holes above the surface. So when they're tired, they shut down only a portion of their brain. The side that's alert makes sure the animal surfaces for air and keeps an eye out for predators. Don't miss your chance

Is this whale ok?! When a whale floats belly-up, it’s not sick. It’s called “logging” : a low-energy way for whales to… • rest • cool off • socialize and scratch off parasites. They can even get a better look at what’s happening above the surface. 👀 Yes… sometimes that means they’re watching you. 🐋✨ Send this to someone who loves whales as much as we do! | Capt Andy's

Hiking the Oregon coast and logging whale sightings is a great way to plug into real conservation work while completing already planned outdoor adventures. Data collected during these outdoor adventures helps build a clearer picture of what’s happening offshore and informs conservation efforts of local scientists.

Today we observed a Humpback Whale pair exhibit a behavior we refer to as "logging" which is best described as a resting state they go into. These logging Humpback Whales spent several minutes at the surface before fluking up, going on a shallow dive for a minute or so and then returning to the surface to rest.

Orca Advocate on Instagram: "This is Tyson, a wild-caught killer whale, lying motionless at the bottom of his tank at Chimelong Spaceship in China. This behaviour is known as logging. In captive environments, orcas and dolphins are frequently seen floating still at the surface or resting motionless on the pool floor for prolonged periods of time. Although often explained to visitors as “how dolphins sleep,” this is not reflective of natural behaviour. In the wild, orcas do not stop moving to res
