Скачать или смотреть Baby Humpback Whale Plays With Dana Point Whale Watchers

A playful baby humpback whale gave whale watching passengers aboard Captain Dave’s Dolphin & Whale Safari in Dana Point, California, a fun surprise when it spy-hopped, twirled, and “mugged” their boat. A mugging occurs when a whale takes a special interest in a boat and often behaves in a friendly and curious manner. During a mugging the boat is in neutral and does not move under power.

With the mother humpback nearby keeping a close watch, her calf spy hops to take a look around then slaps its pectoral flipper on top of the water, almost as if the calf was saying hello! The calf rolls over its back and heads towards the boat. As it twirls around, excited whale watchers get eye-to-eye with the baby whale.
