Introduction
If you see a large whale close to the South Australian coast between June and October, it will probably be a Southern Right Whale. From ancient Aboriginal stories, and whaling, to whale conservation and the Great Australian Bight Whale Sanctuary, South Australia has a long connection with whales. Whales belong to a group of marine mammals called cetaceans, including all whales, dolphins and porpoises. For a long time whales were incorrectly thought to be fish, but they breathe air like us.
