I can also do a Fosbury jump

A humpback whale is breaching the water's surface, partially emerging with its fins visible.

Samana Bay, located in the northwest of the Dominican Republic, is one of the best places on the planet to observe a large population of humpback whales that come to the area every year to mate and give birth.

Every year, during the months from December to April, some 3,000 cetaceans leave their natural habitat in the cold waters of the North Atlantic from countries like Iceland or Canada, to transform the Dominican tropical waters into the scene of their mating rituals, as well as their favorite place to give birth.

It is an absolutely marvelous and portentous spectacle of nature: males of more than 40 tons jumping over the water trying to win the favor and attention of the females of their species, in a hypnotic courtship of nature that is complemented by long and monotonous songs that they emit underwater and that become audible within a radius of 30 kilometers away.
