I once experienced an unforgettable trip to Gloucester tosee some of the world’s most beautiful and exciting animals in their ownhabitat(栖息地), the North Atlantic Ocean.

After a long trip by bus, we got on the ship. After awhile, we stopped and everyone began to shout because we saw a humpback whale（座头鲸）. It was wonderful. Sometimes, whales came so close to theship that you thought you could easily touch them.

While we were watching the whales, a guide was giving ussome information about them, She told us that we saw only two kinds of whales-50 foot humpback whales (singing whales) and 70-foot finback whales(the secondlargest whales on earth). She also said we could easily recognize a whale byits tail because every whale has a different kind of tail just like people havedifferent fingerprints.

They all have names,and on this trip we saw “Salt” and“Pepper”, two whales named by a biologist and a fisherman. They were swimmingtoghter all the time.

I took twenty-seven photos,but it was very hard to takethem because the whales were quick and stayed on the surface of the ocean justfor a short time. It was really something. It was one of the chances that aperson hardly ever experiences in life, but I had that chance.
