It's one of my favorite times of the year. THE HUMPBACKS ARE HERE!. More amazing videos are coming. Also make sure you check out @robertoochoahe for more amazing marine life videos. Every year during the austral winter (June-October), Southeastern Pacific humpback whales (Megapteranovaeangliae) migrate from the Antarctic to tropical waters off Ecuador and Colombia for breeding. The reason why these whales look for Ecuadorian waters to breed is because the calves need to be born in a warm environment, since they are born with a thin isolating layer. Since 1994, whale watching has become a popular activity among the tourists that visit the Ecuadorian coast.
