A whale and her calf have been captured on camera splashing around next to a bunch of excited surfers.
The epic drone footage was taken by Dominique Taylor, 31, who initially presumed the right whale was a rock.
The photographer who lives in Sydney, Aus, was ‘jumping for joy’ when she noticed it was a one of the largest mammals of the ocean in Manly, Aus.
She captured the footage on August 2 [2020] at approximately 1.30pm.

That tail swish was deliberate. She saw all those people coming in too close to baby and the one touching baby. She said "Nope! That's enough now. Let's go!"
Yet she did not flatten the on lookers ☺️
She is so beautifully and gracefully protective of her curious baby. ❤️❤️❤️
She purposefully pushed them all back so gently with her tail ❤️
👍
They have so much control of their motion. Beautiful to see.
So true.
Smart whale, she keeps the crowd away by splashing gentle with her tail while keeping close eye on her calf. Amazing !
Whales dont attack humans, never have
@Kris De Roo well yah a boat but if someone is in the water and the whales sees u it wont hurt u, plus whales dont know what boats are
How do you know the whale's intention? Stupid
@@krisgrafili6780 they know what is prey and a predator, there smarter than u think
That is very interesting! She didn't atack or hurt them, even when one got too close, she just gently swiped them away
Amazing. She brought her calf to meet the little creatures. It shows a great deal of trust for a mother whale to bring her baby so close. I hope that we're always worthy of that trust.💕🐳🐋💕
Just when I was thinking, "Isn't it nice that everyone is keeping a fairly respectable distance from them." 01:52 swimmer has to go and ruin it.
Yea that dude was an asshole
He's an idiot. He could have easily killed by an accidental blow from the tail fluke.
the mom whale swept him away as a warning as she swam under him.
To v To v lol but
Oh you mean Mr. SOS aka " Stuck On Stupid " 🙃 One in EVERY crowd 👍
Mama says looks but don’t touch! That big tail sweep pushes everyone back! Lol. Interesting how the whale decides her baby has the right-of-way!! Love it!
Remember these are mammals with large brains which make them highly intelligent...respect them.
Stfu
Baleen whales aren’t as intelligent as dolphins (though not stupid, they’re much closer to average large animal intelligence). And being a mammal doesn’t make you automatically smarter by default, nor does brain size.
Bk jeong: Regardless of their brain size! She's still a MOTHER Yes. and people as those need to Respect the Territories of Mamamals and all kind Habitates..Yes.P.S. Never put yo Self awareness over Respect Please.😢
@@bkjeong4302 Check Sperm Whale intelligence, we still haven't done much research on whales; we have just started to learn lot many things. They even have their own complex language with grammer ; and I think that's intelligent.
@@rajatkumthekar94 I said BALEEN whales. None of the baleen whales are as intelligent as the smarter toothed whales (which include sperm whales).
I am so amazed that the mother allowed this encounter to happen at all!
She must be pretty trusting of humans, then again, she clearly knows what to do if we get too close! Since (Most of) the world stopped hunting whales, perhaps they don't see humans as the same kind of threat anymore. If that's true, then what a victory for both species, and what a treat for us to be able to see them in the wild. We need to remember to give them lots of space, if they want to get close, it's up to them, not us.
what a fascinating interaction between mother and calf! Watching her in action is like watching a good sheep dog :) At 0:01, bubba is flapping happily on the surface like a puppy, heading straight towards the humans. Mama whale has got her flippers full keeping this runaway toddler in check. She is on his/her case in full protection mode from the get go, diving down under bubba to steer him/her out of trouble 0:17. When bubba insists on turning back towards the humans, she employs the lateral tail sweep (which she uses later on to knock away the fin swimmer and 3 surfboards), to push her calf's tail down and thus turn him in the other direction. She turns him around alright, but then he just stays there staring at the surfers 1:20, so she has to do it all over again 1:23. Dear bubby still doesn't seem to get the message, and is now yet again heading directly towards the surfers, so she decides to be a bit firmer this time. She does a quick 360 degrees underneath him/her, and this time around she uses her tail flukes 2:05 to lift bubba up and pitch her wild child to safety onto the side of her away from the humans -- the "mama roll" technique. I've seen more dramatic versions of this "baby rolling" technique in those videos of a mother whale protecting her baby from orca attack. This mumma did a great job of keeping her little one under control and safe using minimum force. Her focus was not on harming the humans (which she could very easily have done) but on redirecting and teaching her calf.
Thank you for this play by play, I love it!!
Mom took her baby to the zoo and then some of the animals got to close, so she gave the silly creatures a little smack...the end.
So expressive!!!👍👍👍
boa! kkkkkkk
Whales POV
Best comment!😀👍
this comment is so spot on
Look at all these people so extremely close to these beautiful animals they need to respect the space for them and the power that they have.
This makes me wanna cry. They are so precious & seeing surfers excited, honoring them is amazingly special.✨🥰🐋
2:00 Mom's tail gently pushes the crowd away when they get too close. She could of crushed them....
BE ONE WITH NATURE
SHIT PIANO
It's amazing how fast she reacted. Same thing in a video in the gulf of California when a boater touched the baby. They got squirted from the moms blowhole real quick.
Gentle giants
Great footage. The diver got really close and even touched the calf, so it seems mum put an end to the game.
Yes. What a douche.
That was my first thought too
Occi Drone It’s not every day you get to touch a wild baby whale, I’d have done what the diver did lol
Julia Taunton-Clark Dude, it’s not every day I get to pet a bear cub either, but I wouldn’t for fear getting mauled by momma. Who knows how that whale might have reacted. One good “Go away! Shoo!” Motion from momma’s tail and you’d be dead.
Julia Taunton-Clark ya I get the temptation, but fuck that. Never get near a wild baby animal when it’s mother is near. They will attack like 90% of the time, but hey do you.
She was lifting the baby up to see the strange monkeys...
😂😂😂😂😂
rude
😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kkkkk
She was not gonna let them next to her baby, she heard y’all were dangerous
Absolutely not,,,,it is very obvious the cow has had interaction between herself and humans enough to heard the calf back to the people more than once so he could interact. This a very cool interaction and was her choice to keep it up. Very cool,,,,from a distance.
Как трогательно! Какая нежность и любовь! Здорово! Когда любишь и заботишься, то ничего не страшно!
Guilty diver in the wet suit touched the calf. props to the surfers who didn't but were kindna 'round housed' by whale's tail closest to it. glad everyone including calf & mama whale are ok. we've got to respect these animals & give them space.
You said it before I got a chance to, that dickhead in the wet suit touched the calf and fucked up the experience for everyone, including the calf's future offspring.
@@Jay-er2ik I sincerely wish that everyone in this film gets caught and fined $652 on the spot fine or a maximum fine of $21,540 as the law dictates. And if they don't I want to know why?
SHE WAS TELLING #HUMAN TO RESPECT HER PLANET 🌍
hh u 😄☺️🐋💜🐳
Please stop the 'earthy' mumbo jumbo.
The swimmer got too close and touched the calf then the mother turned & whipped her tail around, sweeping the closest surfboarders & the obnoxious swimmer away with the motion of her tail. Looked like it had to hurt but it served that swimmer right, for sure. All mother mammals are protective of their young and will always put themselves between their babies & strange humans who try to defy nature. It’s a lesson in what not to do - don’t mess with a mother whale’s baby, she’ll spank you with her tail & it’s really going to hurt. Presumptuous people. Would you try to pet a baby bear in the forest with its mother standing guard? No? Well, mother whales & their babies should be treated with the same deference. They’re not your pets, people. Ugh 😡🤦♀️😡
They got the idea from videos like this which misrepresent the danger of encouraging whales to approach and interact with humans. It’s not in their best interest or ours.
While aww inspiring, there is a sad part to the video that shows why we need to be very carefully of approaching whales. If you look closely to where all the surfers are gathered is literally in the midst of the krill cloud and as they moved closer to the mother and her calf they blocked them from reaching thier food.
The title of this video should be 'Humans encroach on whales feeding area'
While I agree that it may have been krill, there is also the possibility that it was just churned up sand.
It’s likely just silt stirred up by the beach, it is a surf beach obviously.
Lol krill. Whales don't feed while they are nursing their babies. There is no krill there and they are not feeding. These are warm waters to raise her baby and she will spent months without feeding. Stop trying to assume things you don't know about
I think that mother whale was trying to rest that baby whale on shallover waters yet I´m not an expert. I can also imagine that the surfers tried to create a barrier betveen whales and beach to avoid whales getting stranded
What an extremely beautiful moment.
Something you would only see once in a lifetime.
Then an idiot goes and spoils it for everyone 🙄
WHY is there always 1 person that has to ruin it for everyone. I hope the surfers gave that guy shit for chasing them off.
Instead of being appreciative and thrilled that they’ve decided to come within meters of them that wasn’t good enough for him apparently. 🙄
presumably the authorities will track him down & fine him, that's what usually happens in these situations - although maybe they might make an exception this time around, due to all the covid fines & bad news, combined with how many shark attacks there's been this year, they might just let this one go & pretend it's a good news story instead of lowering people's spirits
M. R. S. had the same thing in the Maldives last year,there was a group of us snorkelling with 2whale sharks and a complete douche went down 3m to touch one and scared them off he was whooping with joy with his American friends when he came back up and was a bit put out when a few of us brits told him what we thought of him. Do they use the word c**t in the u.s?
@@lilaclizard4504 I don't know what the fine is in Oz, but it's _very_ expensive to approach a whale like that in the US. Most of those surfers would have been cited here. They were all way too close.
@@CBlargh Fine's up to about $5,000 & up to 6 months in prison here I think, which kinda seems trivial now compared to what we're getting for covid breaches.
I totally get where you're coming from & agree with it, that said......
It's a law that's hard to enforce, because whales tend to approach humans, making things complex. All those surfers broke the laws, which say they can't go closer than 100 metres, but in reality, finding them all to fine them isn't viable, so authorities in situations like this would instead enlist the help of those around the serious problem one in order to get their details & witnesses if needed for the prosecution & make an example out of him & then just advise the other surfers that if they do it again, they risk the same fate.
We used to be really really tough on these sorts of situations, but it's kinda at the point now where it's really hard to do, cause there's so many of the whales & so many of them initiate the contact, I mean have a look at this one ruclips.net/video/GsW0jwHCPl0/видео.html so what do you do when in reality the whales are wanting the contact? This one at Manly came inside the shark net & right up to a crowded area of the beach, it was the one that first breached the 100 metre rule. Now clearly it was really uncomfortable & the situation shouldn't have happened, but it's still really hard to regulate given the current situation, where the whales are liking people & often initiating it & many of the people in this one probably honestly thought the whale was doing that here, they could only see from their own vantage point, not the whole picture.
To touch the calf is a clear, indisputable violation that would get the full force of the law though, although again I'm not sure if it will right now, due to covid & to some extent the human authorities will probably take the same attitude they have been with a lot of stuff in recent times, but applied to the whale instead of the humans ie, if you want to be stupid & put yourself in harm's way, you face the consequences, we're not going to run around rescuing you every 5 minutes, figure it out yourself!
Note that different rules & applications apply to the white whales, cause they're really rare, so it's 400 metre limits on them & really strict enforcement, but if a whale enters the shark nets & goes right up to people, they likely won't care that much, other than the person who touched it & hopefully the calf also learnt it's lesson & will stay clear of humans in future instead of stressing out it's mum by going so close to them while she tries to get it away from them.
Also note, enforcement on whale watching companies is much tougher than situations like this, because whale watching companies are potentially chasing them & distressing them every single day, whereas this was a one off incident not likely to repeat. Whale watching companies will report problem operators & they will be investigated & licences revoked. There's certainly no cowboys operating in that arena! They've all been re-registered years ago & any company that even mentions that you may see a whale or dolphin in any of their promo material for their cruises is required to be licenced with National Parks for whale/dolphin watching
@@CBlargh & just to give you an idea of what I mean when I say the authorites are taking an attitude of "figure it out yourselves, stop expecting us to rescue you", recent weeks we've had coastal landslides taking homes & people refusing to evacuate as the cliff their home is on falls into the ocean, authorities response - go door to door, make sure they are educated on the situation & danger & have a safe place to go/offer them accommodation if they want it, if they don't want to leave, fine, leave them & let them kill themselves!
Same with the flooding that happened in a number of coastal towns.
Same with the January bushfires, give education & give the public all information the firefighters have to make informed decisions & if they choose to stay in the path of the fire, please register so we can find your bodies more easily later, or leave your recycling bin full of water on the street, that will let us know where to find your bodies too
Same state & we have new covid cases in the community (previously near eradicated, now re-introduced from a problem people area outside the state), no increase in restrictions, just the Premier & head medical person doing regular press conferences asking people to please use common sense & minumise large group events & please stop the pub crawls in the middle of a pandemic, cause it's making it extremely difficult for contact tracers to do their job & impacting large numbers of people when someone gets the virus, so come on people, act like adults so we don't need to hurt businesses again! lol they're determined not to enforce rules on people, just to educate them & ask them to self-regulate their behaviour, so I can totally imagine them looking at the whale incident & saying to the whale, "well wtf did you expect if you went inside the shark nets & right up to the surfers at the busiest part of the coastline you could find! If you don't want people around you, go to a less crowded beach!"
They started it about a decade ago with replacing all the super safe playground equipment with super high & challenging climbing equipment to teach kids risk assessment & have just kept going that direction, replacing nanny state with "use some common sense or learn or die from your mistakes" & it seems to work pretty well most of the time tbh - and is rather entertaining & gives lots of wtf moments as people get their heads around needing to take responsibility for their actions or die.
If anyone had been seriously injured or killed by that whale's tail swipe, the response would have been something like "this is why we have regulations around not approaching a whale, because they're wild animals that can easily kill you through natural behaviour, not meaning any harm. We send our thoughts & prayers to the families of those that died & we ask people to please think about how your actions impact on your family & friends & recognise that death is permanent & it is devastating for those that no longer have you in their lives" ie politely put "you were an idiot & your family will now suffer because of that, the rest of you idiots watching, please get the message before you repeat it & hurt your families too. We care about them, not about you, you deserved it"
Social distancing whale style: make room with the tail 🐋
Aww...she is so proud of him.....just like human mom she probably thinks her own is just so smart for his age and an exceptionally good swimmer and was clicking ages before the rest of the pod's children...and was tail slapping before he could even say, "fin." So I can't blame her for wanting everyone to take a look at her pride and joy. And so intelligently and gently she keeps things friendly and non threatening. God I just love whales so much.
The mother's reaction is fascinating, but no one's gonna coment some of the surfers swiming away when they noticed she was upset?
Like 'oh hell no, not messing with YOU!'
quite in appropriate for that diver to keep swimming towards the whales and touched the calf
The swish of her tail was a warning...BACK OFF! 👍🤔😂
Always has to be that one person that screws it for everyone else
Comparatively speaking, don't we look like the little pesky ants at a whale picnic???!
Absolutely stunning - beautiful whales and the joy they bring - what an experience for the surfers!
What a fantastic video. The grace in the movement of her tail delimiting a safe distance for her baby without hurting anyone. More human than many humans. Got some tears coming down watching it. That doesn't happen often.
If you look some closer, you can see that the mother is pushing her kalf away since the beginning! The kalf was curious but mom din't like it. This is no friendly splashing and the surfers where playing a dangerouse game!!!
Well it was friendly, she could have flatenened them in an instant
She was wery stressed, surfers were to close, not to mantion that one idiot.
Bella Ciao ya you could definitely tell she wasn’t having it, probably just came to shallow waters to feed and was interrupted by the surfers and that dumbass diver. She probably was close to shore more frequently because Covid has been making the beaches empty for months.
Me: Oh my Gooooood !!!!!!!!
Australians surfers : another boring day , weak waves , very hot , some whales..
good god
As friendly as these whales are you shouldn't get that close to them unless they make the first move and approach you. Especially with a mother and a calf. They're lucky the mother recognized they weren't really a threat and just gave them a gentle warning. If they had kept more of a respectful distance it probably would've been fine.
Mama was in total control of this encounter. She basically let them know how close they could get, haha
Mum and kid outing: See baby, this is what humans are like. Just as curious as you and mostly peaceful.
How can you not admire these creatures!? something so gigantic but chooses to be gentle, gentle around ignorant little pricks...
The surfers were respectful at first but when word got out the surfers really rushed in. It is beautiful a mom and babe. Thanks for the ariel footage!
Momma whale didn't want to tail whip those little annoyances into mush, she just gave them a gentle nudge heads up. Such an intelligent creature. However, I wish I was there to experience a memory of a lifetime.
amazing experience and wonderful to watch and see. thank you,
Majestic to say the least! Thank you for sharing it.
What a beautiful interaction. So peaceful.This is how it should be between the ocean and humans 💚
She said "Not too close". Good mama 🐋❤
#ПОТРЯСАЮЩАЯ встреча человека и гиганта, на его территории. И мелодия подобранная хорошая, какой то КОСМОС видео 👍🏻
Those surfers should do the same thing to sharks. So they can earn a life lesson.
I think maybe you should
na mate, they don't need to, the sharks in Australia have taken to grabbing people out of boats now! No joke! a 10 year old in Tasmania was grabbed off a boat by a great white. 5 deaths from them so far this year - most year's there's none
Lol
LOL
Has anyone else been noticing wild life acting differently since we've been acting differently?
I honestly think they're appreciating us being at home, we are way too noisy for them.
They are coming back to the beaches because we haven't been present, notice the shark attacks have been higher, dolphin numbers have moved in to shore and this whale is even more proof.
The seasons are back to normal since we're not emitting as much either. Other winters have been warmer than 2020. Probably because we aren't emitting as much co2.
The surfers will never forget this moment : - ) Many greetings from Germany. Viele Grüsse aus Deutschland.
That was so beautiful..mama got a lil protective there! Thank you
Beautiful video! Thx , and great music accompaniment
they are really close to the mothers tail aren't the surfers supposed to be 300 feet away? or is that just for boats
I think the baby swam up to where all the surfers were waiting for the swell, and mama
obviously had to chase her baby. I think it’s that you’re not allowed to approach them any closer than 300 feet.
How the pair of them managed to get inside the shark nets for that experience is beyond me! Then back out again without difficulty after it. Clearly intelligent animals, shame the humans watching them weren't as smart & couldn't just watch & keep their distance
Regardless of the reason those whales came so close to shore, and to humans, the surfers and divers should have respected the whales’ space. Why couldn’t that diver just stay idle and enjoy the magnificence of these beautiful creatures?! Why can’t people understand limits?! Had the mother hurt him due to his greediness, it would have been justified. Thankfully, the mother reacted with just a warning. How thoughtful of her. Humans aren’t as kind. Maybe we should take a lesson or two.
All animals everywhere have been telling a very critical message to all humans - we are all one - Love is all - there is little time to embrace and awake to the truth
Some complain that they were to close to the whales. Well, come to think of it - this is two species meeting in wild.
Whales and humans.
The whales approached the humans and the humans were interested to say "hello" without harming eachother.
Nothing wrong done by the whales or the humans here.
That dude who swam out and actually touched the wail is brave.
Did we receive their message?
Seems like whales 🐋 are able to tell danger from a friendly situation and I am so glad this was a friendly encounter from humans no longer hunting whales and the whale with no reason to hurt us. Beautiful encounter of such a huge animal.
Everybody’s like,oh that swimmer was stupid, but they know they would’ve been that exact same swimmer trying to touch the whale.
That is what you call pure joy.
my stupid brain read "half whale and half calf"
quarantine is turning my brain into mush
This is phenomenal footage. Congratulations!
That's a Southern Right Whale and Calf....seems those whales like us...she's sharing her baby....so beautiful how the surfers all moved....💙🎶💚💙🎶💚💙🎶💚💙🎶💚💜🧡💛🤍💞💓❣️💝💖❤️💕💗♥️
That was SO Majestic! Awesome!
Beautiful creatures, so graceful!
Wonderful experience!
A lot different being in the water than it is viewing from above.
A rare encounter ~
ANIMAL : Human are so NOSEY!
HUMAN : We care for Animal? But
We are stil Nosey!
ИСТИННАЯ МАМА))!
02:07
- "Mama will kill me if I don't get out of here!"
- "Mine too!"
1:59 Swimmer: touchie touchie
2:07 Mama Whale: touchie touchie
That little whale so curious with human, but so close, that's why it's mom feels dangerous and tries to blocking between them, with a little "sweep" to the surfers LoL
Beautiful. Very intelligent and protective Mama. Good for her! At first I thought that one diver was literally riding on the baby's nose....🤯🐳🙄💙
Да, создания Бога-прекрасны, и это общение животных с людьми и наоборот.
Безумно красиво.
Momma was giving baby a lesson on what/who to avoid: killer humans.
Fantastic and majestic. Love! I’m in awe.
The mom wasn’t trying to harm any of them, just warning them their getting to close to her baby, if she wanted to hurt them she would’ve done so anyway that was pretty amazing though to see
Wow, what an amazing scene, you are all blessed people! 😊😊
Do not obsess the nature ...just feel it... how pleasant it is after the watching this video
Humans, how intrusive, you never cease to amaze me.
Mutual respect and appreciation works.
*Such a great mom. She took her baby to the zoo to watch some bunch of tiny funny looking two legged creatures.*
Well done, Dominique, well done!
Que coisa linda amigos as coisas que DEUS criou são perfeitas 🐳🐋🐳
Imagine how dextrous these giants are. Anyone notice how its tail mainly hit their surfboards? She dove first to inspect the distance, then pushed them away, taking care not to cause injury.
It’s too dangerous to be too close, especially with that huge fluke.
That is the sweetest thing 🥰
Mum what kind of animals are they ? They are so small.
They are humans but don't be fool by their sizes, they might be tiny but they are very dangerous and very destructive !
Oh dear. I hope you feel sufficiently virtuous now.🙄
Yeah and some of them will try hunt you as that guy trying to approach, so be careful
A once in a lifetime encounter to treasure FOREVER !
"These are humans lil one... some of them are just interested in us, some of them want to harm us, these ones are ok"
Wonderful movie... mother and baby amazing enconter... tks.
Amazing video. What music is playing?👍😎
I saw this video on television. The reporter told
that the whale was jealous to see its calf
close to the surfers, which is why the mother whale scared the
curious about their syrup. I found it sensational.
How wild mothers protect their young!
So badass to be part of that experience
A mother is always a mother... :)
Lol @ the friendly "look, not touch" message from the whale mom.
Это как в лесу:- встретишь медведицу с медвежонком- не подходи, так и тут :- не подплывай близко. 😍👍
I love how Mom said BACK UP!!!
Maravilhoso é emocionante ver a conexão entre humanos e os seres aquáticos, isso é a prova de que o planeta está em transição em todos os sentidos.
Mommy was incredibly gentle at 2:00. A full fledged whack of that tail could have sent half those surfers all the way back to the shore.
