I live in an Island where 4 months per year hundreds of humpback whales come to mate or give birth. When we humans want to meet them , we dont really get to decide, it is always their choice to let us approach or even most of the time their choice to approach us. Incredibly delicate, these submarine sized animals can come very close but never hurt us while they could easily kill us unintentionnally. To me it is one of these proofs that they are intelligent conscious animals

​@@drixc1 That sounds really cool and reminds me of the whale like creatures in Avatar The Way of Water.

A mammal that has a brain the size of a car- there must be lots going on in there. Compassion for animals should not be dependent on brain size in any case.

​@@drixc1I'm curious which island do you live?! I'd love to look it up and learn more about the place

​@@drixc1I travelled to Sainte Marie years ago. I still dream about that place.

I’m in awe! He never accidentally splashed, overturned, or lifted her board.

🎶🎶🧜‍♀️🌺The gentle giants 🐳🌺🧜‍♀️🎶🎶❣️

😂 of course you can control yourself too, aren’t you ?

​@@kreteraketeProbably not at that size.

​@@jonyjo3622 but you know where all your limbs are when handling a hamster or a bug, right? It's the same concept.

This is wonderful to hear! I did wonder if southern right whales specifically tended to be like this. ❤

@@deprofundis3293 they're very gentle, and they do have a curious disposition, so it's common to see them approaching people. What's so adorable to me is that they do the same with people as they do with other whales to have fun? It's an experience totally worth-having. They're super cute!

What location do you have to go to for whale watching to see this type of whale?

@@trophyscene5015I'm from Argentina. You have to go to "Puerto Madryn" or Port Madryn. From there, they take you to the locations where the whales are, dolphins, and also to the magellan penguin natural reserve, among other flora and fauna attractions. You can go from Trelew as well, and you also have a fantastic paleontology museum there. It's a magnificent experience, I recommend them to everybody, it was truly so wonderful, it's top experience in life list worthy.

👀

Id be litrally freaked out

It was a woman

Was beautiful, until she pulled her phone out an ruined it.

@@Under-KaozYou’re going to tell me that you wouldn’t try to capture that once-in-a-lifetime moment? How is that any different from pulling out a camera and snapping a picture?

@@taterboob No, I wouldn't. I rarely take a camera out and take pictures. I live the moment. I dont even think of social media and pictures. You lose that connection to reality when you focus on your camera angle and lighting.

Yes, I think I'd have been embracing the paddle board rather than the "once in a lifetime experience " mentioned.

@@blueskies386😂

Exactly what I was thinking😂

I mean, she's in a boat in the ocean, she couldn't do anything even if she wanted to, she had no choice lol

It's a matter of reaction. She could have died. You don't ever expect to have a playful experience with an animal like that in those conditions. Being frightened would have been absolutely normal, but she didn't panic.

Breathtaking

Maybe

Some are but there are some less than aware animals out there too 😂 Humans are animals as well capable of great gentleness and awareness. I think it's good not to overly idealize the animal kingdom. Nature is amazing and frightening.

? Even in the 1960s they taught about mammals, whales dolphins and Orangutans are very intelligent. They never discredited them back then. When did they start to discrete them? Do they not teach about animals in schools anymore?

We are animals. Why would other animals be any different?

I agree 1,000% We need to protect them and our waters 🌎 🐳 🐋 🦈

While enjoying the beauty of it, all I could wonder was how many plastic bottles and nets are in their stomachs. Mankind has to do better.

Protecting them is leaving them

Humans are causing mass extinction and protecting nothing

В некоторых странах на них до сих пор охотятся и это законно. Например на Аляске.

They evolved relatively quickly from land creatures no bigger than a small dog so I guess it's feasible they never actually realised how big they had gotten 🤔

It seems to me they do know because of how remarkably gentle and careful they are not to hurt her or overturn the kayak. ❤

It is the contrary. They perfectly know because they are incredibly delicate when approaching us, never hurting us while they could easily unintentionnally kill us. Intelligent conscious and peaceful animals....unlike us

​@@edmosave65you are absolutely right

Ya they're like puppies. Clumsy and playful.

I recently learned why they acquired the name Right Whale, and it's just awful and feels even worse so after seeing how gentle and interested they were in the paddleboarder.

Really??! What would you expect the whale too do?

@@josephdunn3757 The whale could have easily and with little effort crushed the paddleboarder just for kicks, much like some people do to animals. But it didn't. Or it may have ignored the insignificant little paddleboarder and decided inadvertently put endanger her by breaching. But it didn't.

@@It-is-me...Melsie I guess some people don't know what a whales normal demeanor is??!😮‍💨

I'd jump in. If that's how I'm supposed to die, fuck it.

ikr I'd be so scared . I be paddling as fast as I could to get to land.

We don’t have to do anything except leave them alone.

Exactly we dont need to do anything but leave them alone! ❤

​​@@HalfWarrior @adamcool9318 well, we also have to stop heating up the oceans and dumping plastic in them and overfish in them. But that could be included in "leaving them alone". 😉

I don't either -- how she kept from touching it.

I would have had to touch it to acknowledge its presence or like petting a dog. I can't imagine what an amazing experience that would be.

She was too busy operating the drone which makes the title absolutely ridiculous, 'unsuspecting' is a lie as she obviously went there to have this encounter being prepared enough to film the encounter. Which in itself is a lovely thing, I just don't know why people post with misleading titles. Basically makes them a liar.

​@@davidjustdavid qhe wasn't operating it, another person was (we see another board in the video). But yeah, they were prepared to shoot some videos, but I honestly don't think they planned this encounter (nobody can, this is pure luck)

Forreal how could you resist jumping in after it showed to be so friendly!!! Id be tempted to jump in with orcas so Id definitely swim with a playful whale!!! Plus u gotta aknowledge it somehow besides just sitting there!!! Rude of her!!!

How fortunate we are that whales still exist.

Both are probably the same person😊

Awww 🖤

@@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist0 Thanks but I'm agnostic, Blessed be.

Im Hindu so, praise Shiva!​@@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist0

Praise Jahebus

Could be someone you had lost and has now returned as a dolphin. Soul to soul connection

So well said - exactly! Beautiful, awe-inspiring creatures.

It brought tears to my eyes, just gorgeous to watch ❤

Keep in mind that whales are sentient creatures. They love and protect and are very family and pod oriented. Nothing like sharks and most dominant sea animals. They are much like dolphins, an other mammal.

I wish it was me! ❤🐳🐋

AMEN ❤

I’m envious

Sometimes, I still surprised that past ago, human hunt them down, for whale oil, I imagine the whales welcoming and happy when human come to them but what's next? They're killed

You do realize that whales don’t actually know that people have been cruel to them? How would they have figured that out?

- no, we don't all agree - please think for yourself, instead of others ?

@@robertjensen1048 whales and dolphins are very intelligent - think about if you survived getting shot twice in the same area.. wouldn't you tell your family about it to prevent it happening to them? Whales communicate this in the same way and the message is passed on through generations, and this can be seen with killer whales.

​@@robertjensen1048 Whales live a long time. Some of them probably remember their family members being killed by humans before it became illegal. Most of them probably don't though. That is, unless they live near Japan or Norway😅

Just as we are, no different.

@@alastairwallace6153 u r not giving the whale enough credit.

good, now stop driving

That was a little playful baby.

Yet they keep building more offshore wind farms along the coast, and it makes me sick 😠 More whales will die this year...

Every mammal knows true power is in a perfect boop.

He probably thought she was broke down lol

He was saying get out of here it's too dangerous,but this fool thinks it's playing and it's so amazing.whale probably was saying "your lucky it's me, now scam"

Yeah unlike a sadistic human crushing a bug or something. Whales truly have fascinating psyches.

@@carlandersson7870 Like the whales at SeaWorld? Or the ones who keep flipping boatS in the gulf?

@@alanboyd9013 it means it actually, truly made me cry.

I totally was crying and rewound many times Fascinating Memorizing

​@@alanboyd9013una estupidez que está demás

Es literal

I couldn't have said it better! I still hate to think of these beautiful intelligent creatures being hunted and killed for oil! It breaks my heart. I truly am a sentient being and sometimes wish I was born in a different time if there ever will be a time when we aren't killing animals for any reason.

Stfu. People are animals, but there's not a chance you feel such a profound connection when a stranger walks up to you and starts a conversation.

Women….. TYPICAL!… and typically WRONG

❤

@@assordante2205 Of course that can happen, because there are some extraordinary people in the world.

Beautifully said. ❤

The fish you are killing are just as “incredible and gentle” you just choose to be in awe of one and eat the other 🤦‍♀️

@@westaussie965 A 4 pound salmon is food. A 30 ton whale that's intelligent is awe inspiring. If you want to eat salads all day, go right ahead. And please continue to use your 1A Right to speak-- the Right I wore the Republics uniform to protect. BUT-- don't compare a salmon to a whale.

​​@@user-io9ie5cs8j sharks are fish. Whales are mammals, like us.

Or else they just realized they can't do a thing about it and just play mice.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Well said!

Tell that to the Chinese.

Why do you think that?

It would possibly provide for inner reflection. Some soothing music accompanying it.

God’s creation is never “just” anything. These beasts we created one day before humans and as huge as they are it is we who were given dominion over them , to care for them.

​@@user-vm5ud4xw6n God did not create anything. Because gods do not exist.

They're like "what a dud" 😂

Whale wife "Jesus Benson how many times do I have to ask you to stop messing with those 2 legged creatures they are dangerous! are you trying to put your whole family at risk??" male whale: "I'm sorry hunny I just was fascinated by those weird creatures. you don't think it's crazy imagining what it would feel like to walk with two sticks instead of our flippers?"

​@@lf2052hahaa .... Hell yeah 😂

"Wouldnt it be funny if i just slammed her with my tail" "No *screeebloop* that would not be funny, just leave them alone theyre dangerous"

​@@lf2052😂😂😂

You're my kind of person ❤

@@thexbigxgreen Thanks 😅

Be a vegetarian

@@Appu_2004 Why? Cows and their calves still suffer to provide you with dairy for example. Being vegetarian is nothing special. Many still eat fish too. It's hypercritical.

​@@countryside_guyI think apex predators should become a vegetarian Tiger would have nice green lettuce and crocodile brocoli

When it bumped the boat my heart jumped.

In a situation like this you’d be surprised how calm you’d be.

@@mandingo9471What else can one do in the middle of the water but be calm and accept that you are going to be eaten jk

Why have you been swallowed before. "In TD Jakes voice"

@@heartsrequiem09 That and if you've ever been scared shitless your body will counteract this stress response and promote a sense of calm, this is when the parasympathetic nervous system is activated.

É engraçado que assim que acabei de ver o vídeoe desejei ter mais amorosidade, paciência e gentileza nessa vida com tudo e com todos.

There are only three animals that have ever been recorded to harm or kill for pleasure. Humans, chimpanzees, and dolphins. We think of it as normal because we're a messed up society, but other animals only harm with a purpose.

Alot of them do though. They sink boats. This woman was very lucky that whale wasn't in a different mood.

Wow, do they? I had no idea. I've never seen any of those videos.

​@@anjfehr​They don't actually. There are virtually no instances of whales attacking boats, other than a pod of Orcas off Portugal recently. Orca attacks (like other whales) are almost unheard of in the wild. There's speculation that these attacks were because a member of their pod was recently injured or killed by a vessel.

@@alexanderg1935 ok that's good. That makes me happy. 🙂

They don't break yachts in half that's orcas 🙄

@@060700nona think you’ll find with a little research whales do breach and break yachts, difference to orcas attacking boats and have even sank a few by ripping rudders apart and smashing into hulls, whales breach and land on boats a man was killed in Sydney and another thrown over board when whale breached and landed on it, tourist boats are occasionally landed on whilst whale watching, several times in Queensland Australia whales have breached and landed on yachts leaving them stranded and needing to be towed to harbour, America several times this has happened also, orcas attack boats and sink them, whales breach and land on boats breaking them, check UKposts clips , news reports if in disbelief

She didn’t look helpless.

Either that or he was just asking if she has an onlyfans.

Please tell us more on what the whale was thinking!

​@@lewstone5430😂😂😂

Yeah, I came to a similar conclusion. The girl & the paddle board don't fit there.. but, the whale just processed the situation. It's like.. if a bear/wolfe accidentally wandered into a neighborhood.. humans process the situation.. and attempt to figure out how to handle it the best way.

If you search “AI whale language” you’ll see that humans are currently trying to decode what their vocalisations mean. So we might not be that far off understanding them. I hope we as a species can use this as a force for good and not let capitalism or greed get in the way of what could be such a breakthrough in compassion for animals 🥺❤️

They would probably tell us to stop throwing our crap in the waters

Yes You can communicate with Them throughMeditation.. Just Return to Your Holy Spirit and There You can Be with Them not only in The Spirit but in Conciousness🙌

@@BattleBuddy9000 yeah for sure

I don't know why I'm sitting here crying watching this. Beautiful

This is the prophecy about the second coming of Jesus Zechariah 13:7 “Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me!” declares the LORD Almighty. “Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn my hand against the little ones. The Shepherd here is Jesus. John 10:11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. This is the fulfillment of the prophecy. Matthew 26:31 Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: “’I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ This happened near 30 to 33 AD. Hosea 6:1-2 Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. In prophecies 1day is equal to 1000 years. Which means after two thousand years Jesus will return again. And on the third day which is the 3rd millennium, we will live in his sight. We all know we cannot see God's face and live on Earth. So it's the second coming of Jesus. Luke 21:11 ► There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. Matthew 24:6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. We are the witnesses of all these things. From the death of Jesus to 2030 - 2033 there are 2000 years. Jesus is coming soon. Let's all repent and turn from our old ways and turn to the Lord. Praise the Lord. Peace and Love to you all Easter is pagan, the resurrection day of the Lord is correct and please stop taking the Lord's name in vain like saying omg or using it with a bad word or taking it in anyway that is in vain. Even the devil trembles in his name and we shouldn't use the powerful name like that. For the people who says Jesus is not God here's a verse. Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Everlasting Father?. There's your answer The whole world will turn against Israel and not just Palestinians. Then know the end is near.

Me too ❤

Had me teary because I know what certain countries do to whales.

If this is a North Atlantic right whale this is very rare, they are critically endangered. Maybe less than 300 by now

@davidboyle1902 - Thanks 4 the info! Would you also know ‘where’ is this location? Please tell us all. 😊

The caption said Southern Right Whale. But the kayak appeared to change colors too so idk if I believe them.
