It seemed curious about us. We stood still for about 10 minutes watching while he swam back and forth. We left when he came ashore about 100 m down the beach. He? was quite dark but not as big as an adult. We think he was about 1.2-1.5m long

It spent several minutes always vertical in the position shown apparently breathing through an open mouth before slowly submerging for another few minutes and popping up again a little further (15m) along the coast.
