Video Of The Day: Close Encounters Of The Humpback Kind
People travel far and wide to see whales in their own habitat, and it's not uncommon for the majestic mammals to take notice of visitors and do a little showing off for them. In the home video above, however, a father and son are treated to the sight of an entire pod of humpback whales doing just that. It's unclear exactly where the video was shot, but it's evident that the whales are watching the humans, and not the other way around.
Caution: the audio on the video can get a little intense on this one (and includes a curse or two), so if you're at the office or around children you might want to turn the speakers off.

If you ever had a close encounter with a whale, in a small boat, it is very scary, you hope he is just looking, but they do come real close to our small boat. You just don't know, and like the girl in the video, I was just as scared, lol .

This has been happening a lot lately ....time to lift restrictions on whale fishing ....
Also get rid of the Whale wars people .....they are terrorist and need to be treated as such ...

Ron, crawl back in your hole. This was a good thing, not a bad thing. Whales in their habitat, curious about thankfully non-aggessive visitors.
