Stuntback whale

A HUMPBACK whale stuns tourists by appearing to perform a “headstand” just metres from their boat.

The stunt off Sydney Harbour, Australia, had never been witnessed before and British expat Peter Chai, 53, was quick with his camera.

He said: “It is like it did it for the tourists – they definitely do show off for the boats. I have never seen them raise their tail upwards out of the water like that. It looked like a headstand or a handstand.”
