  • When it comes to a brush with a giant whale, it doesn’t get closer-or cooler-than this paddleboarder’s experience. Said the photographer who shot the drone footage: ‘It’s like the whale was trying to get the attention of the person, just like a puppy does when it wants you to play with it. The only difference is that this puppy is bigger, duh.’

      @@LRAinCA @Elishia Mata Her/She. It was a female paddle boarder. And no, don't pet them. They are gentle and playful, but don't know their own strength and the danger -- when they may drag you under, not knowing that you can't hold your breath for 15 minutes. They're just playing. Never offer them a limb or a paddle.

    My lifelong dream, to dive with southern right whales.
    The whales of tge world migrate North to South at the same time of year. Never crossing the equator, never meeting.
    The northern right whale was hunted to extinction along the eastern seaboard, like the passenger pigeon and nearly the bison.
