me too. I would be petrified too, even knowing they are harmless. My dream is to see a whale in high sea and enjoy their swimming around, but that would be too much for me. It's the unknown that scares us. Those guys were so cool and fearless. He kept saying to the girl: 'Keep your balance!' and they harmonised with the situation. Brave people! Maybe they knew what they could be in for.

I was thinking more of a bane comment "do you feel in charge?".

This reminds me of the orcas here in Seattle. They are so careful near paddleboarders and kayaks that you barely even feel a wave when they pass by or under you.

My brain wants to melt whenever i see their eyes and how much deeper yet similar they look to ours. The biggest question in my mind is what is their affinity for us and what connection do we actually have to them that gives them this affinity. Somewhere in their big brains is an even bigger piece to the puzzle of us im absolutely sure of it. Time can only tell and i can only hope someone figures it out. Its to amazing to go undiscovered .

​@bleachviv Luckily whales are super intelligent and have never harmed humans in the wild. I would just respect it lifting the kayak but I doubt it'd "go crazy" if they simply touched it.

exactly

exactly my first thought.. i was expecting the woman to go crazy and scare the whale... lets just be honest... i would have screamed like a little girl if it was me sitting in that kayak lol

knowing how big that shit is and know it could swallow you without even touching the edge i'd be shitting bricks and it'll leave me alone

Laser Sharp I woulda shit myself and been screaming like a little bitch...😳

+Carmelo Jimenez lol you know a whale can't swallow a human it's mouth is way too small

Exactly. Going towards a whale might make it think you are aggressive and it will try defend its space. Instead, allowing it to come to you from afar might be a sign of its curiosity and is less likely to be dangerous.

Exactly. This is not a good thing.

Exactly. Respect the whales space, and stop when you see one in the distance (in my country I believe its a 100m 'caution' zone)....if the whale approaches you that's their choice - don't take their choice of human contact (or not) away from them. They are naturally curious so may have approached anyway...but they deserve to make that choice.

je'suis Elle just because this scenario, as you put it, 'worked out' for them (the humans didn't get harmed)...doesn't mean that they didn't disrespect the whales space. Humans wouldn't like it when other people crash their way into their home environment, or personal space....why do some people feel they can do this to these beautiful creatures (especially when its history includes being hunted)? Experiencing a whale approach you, while showing it the respect it deserves by keeping your distance and giving it the choice to approach...such a priviledge, and magical feeling!

Exactly right. I've seen the difference. Was an Alaskan resident. Was in the water a lot myself. Had plenty encounters with whales. Seen others that bothered them and had unfortunate incidences.

Not a good idea that whale would have thrown you 80 feet into the air lol

I was thinking the same thing!! I would love to pet a whale

@@beezytalkingshit9319 Facts!

Its a shame some people still harpoon these gentle creatures.

Yes they could tip your paddle board or kayak, even though is not that common, you can search on youtube videos of "Whale flipping a Kayak", sometimes people just get wet, but sometimes they die, respect the animal's space, and if it want's to near you, then you should preserve your well being over satisfying the whale's curiosity

You people are crazy. It only takes ONE mistake.

Sorry, that is not Seattle. i've been there.

Really an understated encounter.

Not HALF, but MOST of the videos are there for one sole purpose: that is, to make MONEY by your subscriptions! They pirate them from other sites and put them up for that purpose. It's a HUGE scam/greed situation and usually just "click-bait" to get you to subscribe!

@@Sandy_Rosenthal I'd sure like to see them try that with Jaw's.

exacty even if it was just a touch, when would you get the opportunity to touch a live whale.

Me too!! I would have been giving those whales some love for sure. Such amazing creatures.

Same here

And they like the feeling🤗

As much as I would love to touch one I think it might be illegal to touch them or get that close but I understand in this case it was the whale’s playful nature

Did you mean the usuwhale ride?

👍😄

they must be very gentle creatures in general. so many encounters where the whale could easily swipe a flipper and kill someone, yet they don't. maybe it's like us if we are caring for a tiny kitten or bird. we are careful with our big human hands.

I think they are very gentle creatures, and generous too. Have you seen those videos of humpbacks saving seals and sealions from orcas when there's nothing in it for them? They really touched me.

Actually whales feel empathy for other species

Yes, I agree. Humans are the only species that can destroy themselves by destroying and plundering all of the world's resources.

Years and years of killing them, and they're children and mates. One did not forgive. They're was one whale, upon witnessing the murder of his mate and child, battered the harpoon ship until it shattered into pieces. The occupants entered the sea in lifeboats and set sail to the nearest COUNTRY. The large male whale watched at a distance. The lifeboaters could only watch and be GRATEFUL the enraged whale, said to be White in color, did not end them. The legend of Moby Dick was born. As for the life boaters misery,

I definitely would have pet that whale!!! He was Soo gentle, he wanted to play with the humans. There's never been one violent attack on a human by a whale in their natural habitat. They somehow sense we are intelligent beings and want to prove to us they are too.

@@ravenpawfan1614 For the whale it must have felt like how it feels for us when there's a fly on your arm 😂

L P --- no they"re not "playing"... This is what these whales do to save over animals from Predators...especialy seals.. As seals are prey to Both sharks and Killer whales..... They usualy only do this when there's a predator nearby, or if they feel the animal is struggling ... There must have been a shark nearby that these kayakers haven"t seen yet ...

@@stephaniedaigle5930 yeah agree

Toooo close.

Yup. Just because they're gentle giants that don't want to hurt people doesn't mean they can't kill them ACCIDENTALLY.

Don't think they had a choice at that point. The whales clearly decided to play with and investigate the Kayak, they really had no choice but to play 🤷

@@candicehealy1629 Me too! All I kept thinking was "Stop trespassing in their area!" See all the other kayakers following directions... I feel like there was a responsible distance they were advised to keep.

Great comment.

I totally agree. I felt like the whale was gently playing with them. It was so powerful it could have flipped them in a second, but instead was so gentle and almost loving. Kind of like how we are when playing with a smaller animal.

Mary Anne Brown --- This is what they do when they are trying to "save/protect" an animal from a predator..usualy seals from sharks...but they"ll save birds..humans...etc etc...there must have been a shark nearby that the kayakers didn"t see! ...this is not uncommon for them to do this actualy! And usualy the animals they save are much much smaller than a big kayak ...

No? Humpbacks are completely friendly they love playing with humans and love attention. They’re harmless I would have been overjoyed at such an experience.

So many people in the comment section have no idea lol. They rapidly lose their appeal when you just want to Kayak or fish and they won’t leave you alone. They easily can and do kill people.

adamd664 it is like having a bunch of grown elephants that want to play with you. Humpbacks are notoriously defensive btw could just tail slap as a gesture for them to move away from the pod, and both these people are doneski. The used to have a reputation for sinking old wooden whaling and sailing(they get confused after they get attacked the first time usually) boats, and they still violently protect areas from Orcas, who are actually malicious sea wolves that somehow got a reputation for being nice as well.

I’ve lived around these animals my entire life, and while I think it is great that conservationists educate people on them, they also spread a lot of bs about how lovey dovey and nice they are to get people to care about them and preserving them.

Luminousreign I know a lot about these animals. They usually only attack you if its breeding season when they can be very aggressive. But the chances are still low. But then again you never know. I would love to do this though.

Woow

Most high? It was whales 🐳

All hail the whale god

You are SO RIGHT! God made all creatures and us to be together and not HURTING one another. Read Genesis in the Bible, all creatures ate plants and fruits and not each other. But when man sinned, it brought evil into the world. God was right to be disappointed and made EVERYTHING MORE DIFFICULT BY MAKING all creatures, including us, to have to do what we could to eat. That meant no more protection from the evil in the world, and everything had to find a way to eat. With the evil influence, all things were twisted into more aggressive than they were. SOMETIMES WE GET A LOOK AT HOW IT COULD, AND MAYBE, BE IN THE WORLD THAT GOD INTENDED, AND WE'RE SHOWN BY THE CREATURES HOW IT USED TO BE. MAYBE SOME WERE NOT TWISTED INTO THE WAY WE SEE NOW. WHEN Noah gets the terrestrial creatures (I wonder if there were more arks, Noah's was an example) but the sea creatures that chose to run away from us, or still were, in the way he meant them to be,

What a lovely thought

The question is, would the whale be okay with that? Or would he/she blast you and your boat with his/her fin into infinity? xD

Maybe because they had more than enough with just balancing the kayak making sure they didn't fall off or flip over..

You could startle it, you could spread bacteria to it, you could injure it in soo many ways, good for them for keeping all hands and feet inside the moving vehicle.

Yeah, because the little boat was all super clean with zero bacteria, it wasn't in a garage full of dirty and "human disgrace to whales" bacterias. Good thing they higienized the whole vehicle with isopropilic alcohol, right before touching the water. Do you really believe some human bacteria would survive in that salty water, what is, well, wet, and salty, instead of the human skin habitat? I may be wrong but, come on baby. If it is to be so drastic you wouldn't never ever pet your dog, cat, or any kind of animal, or touch anything because some animal could touch there anytime too and die. C'mon...

Lisa Lombardo Startle it?? Injure it?? That thing has super thick skin with probably 20 cm of lard, wouldn't even feel it if you were hitting it with a hammer. I am pretty sure that lifting you out of the water and using you as a plaything is alot more "startling".

NightStar787 mostly he says: "look look look look look" "we're on top of the whale"

+NightStar787 He tells her to just try to keep her equilibrium - I think that's why they didn't pet it. They were afraid of falling.

+Sandrichka If they fell in, hopefully they knew how to get back on the kayak. It's a sit-on-top, so it's pretty easy in open calm water. Anyway, they'd get to go swimming with some whales assuming the whales didn't get startled and take off.

@@joaquimgianini1234 It's most likely a female. Adult males are solitary (meaning they do not swim together like this). Females stick together with the babies and young whales.

@@kittypurr11 I was joking but thanks for the info

Don't go to Harlem at night then...

whales are gentle, bud. You should be more afraid of orcas and even them you shouldn't be afraid of. Its actually sharks that you should be absolutely piss my pants scared of simply because what if you're bleeding, even just a tiny bit. They'll either circle or attack. Sharks don't usually intend to attack humans either, though. Its just they mistake you for a fish or food or they smell blood, which sends them into a frenzy during which they'll attack anything moving too close to them. Its all really fascinating, in my opinion.

Jarod Jones i love whales and i know theyre non aggressive but its just their size that's terrifying

Yeah, I can see how that's intimidating. There's only one way to face that fear........;D

For your own good. You should not defame the most honorable name of Jesus even indirectly as you have decided ill-advisedly to do with the icon abuse you have for your pic. To foolishly and outrageously try and equate an extinct reptile with the savior of sinners is wrong on too many levels....if I were in your place....I would desist with the dishonoring of Jesus in any way whatsoever....it is NOT WORTH IT in the end. Do you care about your own salvation from sin and death? Do you want to continue to be under the slavery of evil lying devils keeping you in stupidity and fear and cowardice and making you sin even against your own mind??? !!! Do you care to be free from the evil of sin and deception that is the main characteristic of atheism??? If you even remotely did...you wouldn't ever do the kind of thing you did with the wrongful abusive pic that is what you have so wrongfully chosen to commit in doing....I have for my part warned you and if you do not repent of whatever it is about the truth of Jesus Christ you rebel against...as you ought to know by now....there is no hope of salvation for those kinds of decisions and people who make those kinds of decisions unless you realize the sin and repent. SO be wise and repent otherwise you have no one else to blame for your own wrong choice AND THEIR NECESSARY SPIRITUAL BAD CONSEQUENCES other than yourself because it was you who did it with everyone else who decided to not beleive in Jesus Christ ! For my part I have warned you for your own sake.....repent(change away from the decision to sin and think evil untrue false thoughts) or you are calling for troubles that often end not well in your life with little or no hope......I have taken my time to let you know this....as a fair and good warning....so that you could be saved from destruction and hopelessness that is sin and lies of demons.... Do not be deceived....foolishness does not go without due negative consequences owing to your own decision to remove yourself and keep yourself away from the "path of life that Jesus is the way towards truth and peace that leads to heaven away from sin."
