Gray Whales Rub Against Boat (Seen From UNDERWATER VIEWING PODS)

[@alyrafsanjani6928]

damn i have this sudden urge want to remove the barnacle from the whale

[@thizzam]

Wish they would let us remove those darn barnacles!!

[@josephkwemoi2972]

Remove the barnacles

[@plinyelder8156]

There’s no such thing as a California gray whale. It’s just called gray whale.

[@TheMikedngb]

Only a California fruitcake would make such an asinine statement.

[@Theclaidheamhmor]

Sounds very Californian thing to say

[@RadagastBrown420]

But there is such a thing as a California Bear, just ask Tanner Boyle and Kelly Leak.

"Honey, it's the big backscratchers those weird tiny things live in!"

[@captdaveswhalewatching]

LOL!

[@scooter6582]

They need a brush like they have for cows. Cows just walk up and rub all over it you would think you could make a floating one for a whale to just swim up and rub all over it

[@captdaveswhalewatching]

I bet the whales would love that!

[@hugothompson3709]

Would also be great for attracting whales if it helped them rub off their lice.

[@sforza209]

Yea it’s called a broom. lol

[@teresahiggs4896]

I saw one video where the people had push brooms and were scrubbing the barnacled area on a whale. The whale seems to really,y enjoy it, twisting and turning to give the people acess to different parts of its body……and it stayed around enjoying being scratched for quite a while. Maybe boats could start stocking push brooms on board, for the passengers to scrub the barnacles on whales .

[@Kains_whored]

@@teresahiggs4896seriously a great idea … it’s like we know how smart they are … let’s respond with similar smart behavior ….. all I see everyone doing is just trying to pet them like idiots …..

[@KatherineUribe-1]

Sweet whales! It's wonderful that they can trust us!💖🐳💖

[@neeleshpai]

One guy was recording with a tablet? OMFG!!

[@sforza209]

Right, what a dope!

[@prairierider7569]

I remember watching a humpback documentary last week and they stated that humpbacks have species specific barnacles, is that the same for each whale/dolphin species?

[@ginevragali2981]

Didn't see much scratching action, but I was really waiting for that guy to drop his tablet on top of the whale!

[@lindam4953]

Lol

[@kimberlypotts9734]

Praying for the whale

[@CajunAdrienne]

Why don't the sealife research people go out to help remove those barnacles on whales?

[@mojo7618]

because maybe thats a little dangerous task?

[@ganjad8329]

I wonder if they rub themselves against boats to maybe get rid of the barnacles :(

[@captdaveswhalewatching]

Yes, it's possible.

[@gracemoore9904]

They're looking for help removing barnacles and parasites

[@captdaveswhalewatching]

It must be hard not having hands to help to remove them!

[@marceau425]

Trying to get the barnacles off..

[@captdaveswhalewatching]

Maybe!

[@riccardofrau5944]

BRUTAL POWER ANIMAL !!!!!!

[@virginvegan9934]

When they bump the boat suddenly, all the people drop their phones and cameras in the water! Expensive trip!

[@schoolwork232]

😂😂😂

[@GeneralCreed]

Poor things asking for help getting those nasty barnacles scrubbed off

[@StampinRN]

Wow!

[@1916lunt]

How about putting blades on the boats to rub against? Dumb idea probably

[@captdaveswhalewatching]

Engine propellers already do damage to wildlife. We'd much rather have the whales be safe.

สงสารจังมีแต่ตัว เพรียงเต็มไปหมดเขา อคงอยากจะให้มนุยษเอาออกให้ ป่าวเน้อ สวสารจัง

[@rogersilva9372]

Hi beautiful

[@michelineandre5613]

Ce sont des animaux pacifistes car si il voulait avec sa queue il pourrait renverser le bateau mais la il emploi de la douceur, sachant que nous sommes des êtres humains donc fragile
