I mean he kinda asked for it, he waved his hand at the whale, the whale took a few seconds to register what he did and wave back. These things are far too massive, I would've been finning the opposite direction immediately. Lived in florida, swam with manatees, dolphins, sharks, gators, all sorts of things I wouldn't be spooked by, but these guys are just BIG and would scare me. They can hurt you without even trying. That fin can weigh more than a car, just an accidental bump can be fatal if they hit you the wrong way. Hope buddy from the video didn't get beat up too bad.

Wow! It's almost like there's a reason It's illegal to approach whales.

So, you've seen additional footage that showed the swimmer approach the whales and not the whales swim closer to the person?

Bud they'll come right up to you if you just sit still. Guess you've never been near one though.

@@Frindleeguy So that guy wasn't harassing the humpback? It's a really big ocean and he just happens to be that close? Go kick rocks
