A Magical Day with a Right Whale | Ocean Soul

[@teknoman117]

The thing that surprises me the most is how gentle they are. A small thump from a whale could easily kill a person, however these whales interact and take extreme care not to hurt anyone. Just amazing,

[@duthebestlion]

They are gentle giants that are curious about humans. Their intelligence made them distinguish us from a seal and other sea creatures.

[@habitant71]

Makes you wonder, are we really the smarter ones??

[@katman734]

It's only the small scrappy humans that cause havoc.

[@Chanelgirl937]

This brought tears to my eyes. They really do enjoy interacting with humans. Whales are truly magical and gentle giants.

[@broth0076]

wonderful

[@Diwana71]

Noble giants. They have so much empathy.

[@tangoseal1]

They are so incredibly intelligent and self aware that they know how much they could hurt you so they hold themselves back from doing so. Any human that kills a whale for any reason other than to put one down that is dying a horrible disease caused death is a monster.

[@UseADamnCoaster]

Exactly. This type of whale is called a right whale because it was considered "the right whale" to kill back in the whaling days. Only a pure psychopath with no empathy or concern for anything else in the world could kill these things for a living.

[@befany14]

I think whales are magnificent creatures, and I like what he said about their soulful eyes. So true about these ancient and intelligent creatures.

[@hssa96]

isn't it wonderful to think that the world still has so much to offer despite the destruction man have greatly contributed to Mother Earth? Many awesome creatures are still left to be discovered and thanks to these courageous people who share all their experiences to us.

[@EvaGreenFanPennyDreadful]

Damn, imagine how awesome that would have felt being so close to a giant...

[@jbeeleevr]

When I look at the whale's eyes, I think "So that's what it looks like to be fearless."

[@FlowingDepths]

Awwh :) what a magical story! Whales are such amazing creatures :3

[@bullsquid42]

I kind of envy him for this experience. Then again, I would have shit my diving-suit.

[@GallifreysMagician]

So beautiful! I wanted to cry. :)

[@taylorstumpf8337]

The truth is, the first place where we can start saving the whales is in our hearts. We need to keep them, alive or deceased, in our memory. Cetaceans have a connection with us unlike any other kind of whale. I am working to stop Eskimo whaling here in Alaska. The truth is, whaling of any kind is wrong.

[@SB-ie8jn]

What beautiful creatures.

[@wafflethug]

aww i want a whale

[@Anonymoose]

Remarkable story. One can only imagine what it felt like to be there.

[@TheCoolProfessor]

I would love to have this experience. UNlike the 11 whale hunters!

[@johnnymccraze]

So adorable. It just goes to show animals really are intelligent and emotional creatures. Not trying to be a hippie, but I just think they are wonderful :D

[@goover78]

Off the scale.. is absolutely the way to describe this. Awesome!

[@PureVigilance]

[@chrisblaine3210]

I cant believe we actually use to kill these amazing creatures...its saddens me to no end the horror we have done to our oceans...nauseating

[@tarquin0005]

Lots of countries still do, particularly Russia and Japan.

[@ElectricPyroclast]

[@FabioSantilli]

Ooooohhhhhh... Nice... What a great job you have... O.o

[@duthebestlion]

Whales are precious creatures that deserve to enjoy our planet Earth as much as we do. Extinction means forever gone. Please say NO to whaling for their meat.

[@italndiva]

It kills me that right now the Japanese Government is going to go *whaling*. We need to protect these gentle mammals and save them. They are endangered. Please support Sea Shepherd to help save them. xo

[@HunterGrey]

Wow. This is phenomenal. Thanks @iain2008 for sharing!

[@grzechul]

That's because they're intelligent ,like we =)) (maybe not in our way ,but still) ,and they have their own personalities

[@NicolenavaVan]

Where's the Ocean Soul nowadays..? Plz Do not kill any more.

[@hodachbrawichi]

National GOd Damn Geographic!~!~~!~!~!~!!

[@theoriginalrichard]

It'd be awesome in the future, if we had technology to communicate with them. I really wonder what they're thinking of aswell. :D

[@LaosAzzazzin]

I can't tell which of my passions will win over me: my gaming dream or my wish to work with animals like this. I hope to figure it out one day.

[@wintergrox205]

Wow!

[@TheHadesShade]

[@xx-mx8yi]

سبحـــان الخالق

[@Tundra0128]

Where is the left whale?

[@LaurielLolz]

Beautiful, absolutely stunning! (no, I'm not posting a "SECOND!!!1!!!" post)

[@johnr.timmers2297]

Sometimes I wonder if meeting a diver is as exciting for a whale as meeting a whale is for a diver

[@SkilledBaby95]

@LaurielLolz by saying im not posting a "SECOND!!!1!!!" post, your actually posting that post. lol anyways awesome video :D

[@darkdragonlover7]

What level scuba diver was he?

[@RastaSaiyaman]

The truly heart breaking thing here is why the "Right Whale" is named the way it is: because of being the "Right whale" to hunt. They are slow swimmers, they are curious, swimming up to the boats, they don't put up much of a fight when harpooned and float when killed. The very things this guy was describing here was also the reason why for 150 years there was a ban on hunting them, there weren't enough of them left.

[@Sunshine123x]

What a privilege!!😘

[@ihateuutube]

ewww is that whale lice? the whale wanted you to clean that shit off of his face. that's what i would have done. then we would become best friends.

[@theblackturnip]

@JulienLaatst of course.

[@jehad2921]

Wow man itz awesome!

[@kylesillon1836]

Imagine

[@priankashashikumar9156]

[@ashleymadden7075]

[@DawnOfThaDusk]

But will it blend??

[@1988stefan1988]
