logo do tauana, por J. Borges

Em 2004 fui a Bezerros em Pernambuco para pedir a J. Borges para criar uma xilogravura que viesse a ser o logo do Tauana.

Assim foi...

come see the whales

Humpbacks Whales migrate seasonally between feeding grounds in high latitudes and breeding grounds located in tropical waters. In the Western South Atlantic, the main breeding area for the species is off Bahia State in Brazil. Between July and November, these whales reach the warm, shallow and calm waters to mate and give birth to a single calf, which is born after a gestation period of about 11 months.
Humpbacks are well known for their docile behavior, for their many antics (jumps, head-up displays, pectoral fin slapping, etc.) and for their melodious ‘singing’. Another striking characteristic of this species is the size of the pectoral fins, which are unusually long, reaching around one-third of total body length. Females are slightly larger than males and may reach 16 meters in length, weighing around 40 tons and they may reach speeds of up to 27 kilometers per hour.
