Coral Reef Abrolhos - Brazil I had gone a boat, on the coral reef called Abrolhos, the state of Bahia, Brazil. This boat tour is to observe the whale swimming and jump on the sea. From July to November, the Jubartes whale came to the coast of Brazil, because the warmest water, for taking care of yours babies. The boat stopped for few minutes, and everybody was looking for the whale when suddenly a huge whale jumped with her large tail so close to the boat. Was wonderful and unforgettable. It's incredible animals. I'm so sorry when I read the newspaper that it is hunting and murder. But, I understand that is a culture of some places. Curiosity: Abrolhos means Open the Eyes. A long time ago, in the navigation century, many ships and boats sank in the region on the reef, because they had hit on the corals. So, the sailors, when the ship is getting close, yelled: Open the Eyes, to warning the Captain to watch out. Open the eyes in Portuguese means "Abra os Olhos" or Abrolhos.
