A drone captured the incredible moment a whale pushed a paddleboard with its fin.
Maximiliano Jonas filmed the amazing footage off the coast of Puerto Madryn, Argentina, on August 31.
Maximiliano used a drone to capture the moment a Southern right whale approached a paddler board on which his friend Analia Giorgetti was sitting.
Incredibly, the whale gently pushed the paddleboard forward with one of its fins, in a video that has gone viral online.

It's nice to know that the old "I'm going to poke it to see what happens" isn't just a human thing.
"... and so I poked it with my fin."
Whales are just people who live in the sea.
Oh so much gentler than a poke! It knew it needed to be gentle. Maybe recognized the 'being' as a good thing. Maybe another human being cut a net from its body as I've seen happen on here, and knew to be gentle, wanted more interaction like that.
Or in the case of China, eat it
Я думаю, что животные даже умнее и добрее некоторых людей. Они все понимают!
They’re so gentle. They barely disturb the water for an animal so massive.
Wheras for an animal so small, humans manage to wreck everything.

Too true friend. The world really would be a beautiful place if we weren't here.@@Whit-mh9nt
@@Whit-mh9nt You need to hang out with better people
@@Ricekrispy10 Have you noticed the planet lately? We humans kill so many of each other, we need high tech machines to do the job, great areas of the ocean are now oxygen free deserts where nothing lives, most of the tropical jungles we need to clean the air, have been cut down for cattle or oli palm, and our closest relatives, the other great apes, are near extinct in many cases, and we dont even know or care about the living conditions of sentient sea mammals like dolphins and whales, whom are severely impacted by our shipping and fishing. . Speaking of which..There are whole species of fish you can't buy anymore, as they are fished out..Should I go on?
The whale has that child-like excitement after he gently pushed that paddle board. It's so cute. 😄🥰
I think this is proof they're at least smarter than human children. I've seen human kids. They would never play with their toys this gently.
I am speechless at how gentle the whale was with the paddleboarder. Once in a lifetime memory. It was so beautiful that it brought me to tears.
Why are woman Cry babies?🤣
The whales must be fascinated that we are so small but yet we got cool gadgets and we can beat their ass in a fight when we work together and it wouldn’t be close. So the whale must of been like . “Man better be nice snd not piss off our human overlords and bring them back to safety before they stick a submarine up one of our a55e5
All three of you are completely nuts.
I'm a dude and I'm right there with ya on the tears thing. Those creatures are amazing. The care and curiosity it showed toward the "tiny" person was inspirational. Makes me want to be a better person...lol
Grow up
I remember when I used to live in Oceanside California and I was out on the peer watching a small group of dolphins taking turns knocking surfers off their boards. It was hilarious. They would even time it just right so that just as a surfer was starting to stand up they would swim up and either bump the board or grab the leash. They would then quickly swim away and were clearly very amused with themselves. It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
That’s hilarious! 😂
That’s absolutely awesome!!!! Gotta love those D-fins!
There is 100% malicious intent. jk.
There are two kinds of cetaceans:
😂
Love this. Dogs are like this too. Animals have a sence of humor
You can see the intelligence. That 75,000 lb whale isn't thrashing about, violently tail whipping or slapping its fins at the paddleboarder because it doesn't know any better. It gently nudges the board and its curiosity is a wonder to behold. I wish I was in that paddle boarder's shoes at that moment.
They do know better. That happens when males are trying to mate and display dominance to the other males or a female is protecting her calf from the thrashing males. When that isn't going on, they're actually very curious and sometimes even protective over you.
They just have weird ways of displaying how intelligent they really are.
It's just like I was watching an autistic kid for years. He did know better with every single thing he did. It just came out differently. He wasn't dumb even though some people treated him like he was dumb.
Same rule applies.
OOooh... me too! How thrilling
That paddle boarder had to be puckered up at least a little, that would be a absolutely surreal experience.
@@jimhagar5149 Puckered!!! they would have had to slide me to the corner to pull me off that board!!! LOL
And it’s still being hunted
The more I read and hear about whales, the more I feel like they're the actual guardians of our planet! Everything about their existence, the way they communicate, the way they eat, sleep, hunt, their sound seems majestic!
Truer words might ever been spoken! If only the paddle boarder had reciprocated this First Contact🙄
How gentle they are with us and how they continue to remain so, despite the centuries of how cruelly humans have treated them. It's astounding the compassion they continue to show. We don't deserve this planet.
Ain’t that the truth.
The level of care and empathy displayed here towards a smaller, breakable creature is astounding. If only we would show the same level of care in return to these gentle giants.
@@marythomas1198 So do people. Are you arguing that humans don't have empathy either?
@@marythomas1198 One aspect of "empathy" is being aware of the fragility of another thing and conducting yourself in such a way as to not frighten, disturbing, or harm that thing. Think of how you might cradle a ladybug or lightening bug in your hand, even though you have the ability to flatten such a small creature. You have such immense power and control over this little thing and yet conduct yourself with caution and respect for this other living creature. There is empathy in THAT! Sometimes...you just need to perceive the dynamics fully to appreciate what all is taking place!
These gentle giants also eat much smaller creatures - like shrimp and plankton lol
Is not that we can't. If we really couldn't there wouldn't be any efforts to sabe them in the first place.
@@rjohns25 eating is different than playing and torturing like human do
Once I flew a small plane over the ocean and had a clear view straight down to a pod of whales. I tilted the wing so that I could circle them and get a better look. They started copying, yawing their bodies and fins in the same direction. So then I turned the plane the other way and they copied again. Then one of them was like 'well, can you do THIS' and just kinda rocked back and forth rapidly from one side to the other. So I was like hell yeah! and copied the whale. You could tell they were all sharing a laugh about it. I spent so much time out there playing copy them that I burnt up 1/4 more fuel than I was supposed to and then I also forgot to switch fuel tanks. landed back at the airport on fumes. One of my most precious memories.
Love love love this story ❤️. Thanks for sharing
Secret Alias: Thank You for Sharing this experience, OH how Sweet!!!
Such an incredible encounter.
Wow. Any story you hear where they express intelligence should be no surprise. They are the only other animal with neocortical structures like humans. Meaning they are capable of extremely complex thinking. Using deductive reasoning they probably have a complex, non-sound,* based language.
Even though they are smart as humans This story still surprised me. They are able to watch and analyze an airplane. And by copying it they express understanding of it as an individuated entity.
Wow! That must have been a slightly (or very!) scary, yet humbling and beautiful experience. Imagine being out on the water and having all that power right underneath you!!!
This video needs to be 10 hrs long. I fell into such a peaceful place in my mind. ❤

It can be 10 hours long and even longer. Just put it on loop and leave. It was repeat itself.
@@wilsonmpesha904True
Think about the amount of intelligence it takes to be curious about the paddle boarder, decide to examine them, and calculate how gentle they have to be to not crush such a tiny, fragile land mammal bobbing about in the ocean… these animals are sooooo much more amazing than we give them credit for.
edit: all I'm doing here is trying to get people to appreciate these creatures more by pointing out that they are capable of complex emotions and thought processes. if you already know that, just move on, the comment isn't for you.
there is absolutely no reason to reply with something rude or belittling, except that this is the internet and some will anyway. if you're thinking about saying something mean, why don't you just not this time? just move on, you don't have to do it.
Yes indeed! So many animals show similar traits as well. Why were we conditioned to believe that animals were stupid or lack of feelings and consciousness 🥲
They're animals that evolved over millions of years to survive in a climate that mammals aren't even normally built for. Of course there gonna be smart as shit lol
I feel so sad that humans hunted whales and are still killing them. 💧
human way was to chase down and kill thousands and thousands of whales of all variety many to the point of total extinction, only after all this was it that we humans got curious. Thankfully most countries have band whale killing and now after many decades these gentle giants have increased their numbers.
@@wirefeed3419 now they die because of plastic
That paddle boarder is so fortunate to experience that compassionate and considerate interaction.
laundry was especially rough this week. Perhaps he just bagged up the shorts and threw them out.
@@asher6657lmao it’s 2:36am and that took me too long to understand.
@@asher6657Ngl I would probably throw out my shorts too if this were the case
He prolly shat himself.
Twice, I would think@@stealthymonk7734
I would be on the verge of a heart attack! Kudos to the paddleboarder for keeping his cool
Her cool. It was a woman
☝️🤓@@iz6566
I remember touching a whale shark's fin once. They're almost as hard as a boat. Whales are most likely no different. They can easily crush us with their fins if they want to, so I appreciate how gentle they are.
I can't even imagine what that human was going through: equal parts unmitigated terror and incomparable awe! This was an experience of a lifetime, for sure!
I'm sure if he was out there in a paddleboat he is very aware if whale behavior. He would know that so far as we know, there has never been an intentional death of a human in the wild from any species of whale. Orcas have killed in captivity but never in a random wild encounter.
I bet that was at least one of the top 5 moments of his life. It would be my 1st or 2nd. But I don't do......the ocean. Screw that death trap lol.
@@natecloe8535 Good point about understanding the whale behavior. Still, the massive size alone...! Also,I recently learned that orcas are actually in the dolphin family. Learn something new every day.
@@BK-qp8zp If there is anything that would get me into the water of the ocean and actually be pretty excited about it. It would be if there were whales. I went snorkeling on a cruise one time and and I rounded is this big rock and in between this rock and the reef was a if the reef was a 6' long nurse shark and they had told us that there was virtually 0 chance we would encounter anything bigger then a footlong barracuda. I didn't freak out because I used to watch the crocodile hunter so I knew that nurse sharks don't even have teeth it's more like sandpaper so I didn't freak out about that. That big dude swam up a couple feet and checked me out and then just settled back down to the bottom minding his own business.
But you're right that's a decent size paddle boat and it makes It look like a bathtub toy. The most impressive to me though. Is that at this point in history we, as far as we know, share the planet with the largest animal to have ever lived in recorded natural history, as well as the fossil record. I always picture the Brachiosaurs at the beginning of Jurassic Park and then imagine that a blue whale is even bigger than that!
A lifetime shortened by a decade or so lol.
I think the guy on the paddleboard may not have much of a view. but the Drone guy hit the jackpot.
They don't call them gentle giants for nothing, their hearts are so big. I love his dance around the paddleboard . How awesome is this!💯🥰
''...Their hearts are so big?'' was that a pun?
Whale sharks have the nickname "gentle giant of the sea" this is no whale shark. However a big heart does not mean that something is more emotional sensetive. Your comment is just false education, sorry i had to point that out!
Jeez, everybody's gotta take things so literal, they're gentle in the way they move, in the way this one is moving. That's it.
Ikr, the dance, well said.
@@killabrother7123 you're kinda dumb, bro
Oh my, what a memory this paddle boarder has, and what a privilege .
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. A massive beast can also be a gentle curious giant. It is simply playing but doing so in a way that recognizes its dominant power compared to our own. It's hard to imagine a greater connection man could make with the animal world. What an honor that paddleboarder got to experience this.
It makes me sad, because these are incredibly intelligent animals, surely aware of the dangers of humans. They could just as easily stay away from us at all times. Yet they seem to clearly identify individuals that are kind and pose no threat, attempting in their own way to show their own kindness and willingness to "be friends".
The whales must be fascinated that we humans are so small but yet we got cool gadgets and we can beat their ass in a fight when we work together as a cooperating unit… and it wouldn’t be close.
So my educated guess would be the whale must of been like . “Man better be nice snd not piss off our human overlords and bring them back to safety …or they will stick a submarine up one of our a55e5”
Long live all HUMANS top of the food chain!
@@Mynipplesmychoice Except for one, being followed by a hungry shark…….
An animal with such might, and understanding, yet obviously aware of man's fragility against it.
An understanding of gentleness, and awareness.
Magnificence in all aspects.
Whales only live today because we stopped hunting them for their oil. Mankind is the most mighty, and the whale knows it.
@@Judge_Magister I concur and agree with you about the cessation of whale hunting and its implications relating to allowing whales to flourish today. But there is no doubt the whale has a huge brain, and I believe it may include the ability to recognise and appreciate a human who offers no threat, and is appreciative of same by reciprocating with gentle contact in recognition as demonstrated. I am sure they have a lot more in common with mankind that we have yet to ascertain if they possess similar feelings that human have.
@@michaeldonovan525 they do show altruistic instinct yes. Did you read the story of the diver who was “eaten” by a whale at 30m dept and then spit out at the surface alive? The whale probably thought he was out breath and wanted to safe him
@@Judge_Magister in 2019 Japan resumed commercial whaling after leaving the International Whaling Commission (IWC)
@@stijerina6998 😢
So gentle of a being…I honestly think they may feel compassion for the boarder thinking his little fin is just not enough to make it where he’s going.
♥️
What a wonderful thought.
😆😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
Thats a human perspective. If they saw any nutritional value in him they would have just eaten him. They dont show the same kindness all the time. Its nature.
@@R20966 southern right whales don't eat anything bigger than krill or plankton, so no it would never eat a human as it is physically impossible for a human to be swallowed by one.
What an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience. These paddle boarders were incredibly lucky to have this wonderful encounter.
And to happen to have a drone with them?
OMG.. I'M ORE STRUCK EVERYTIME I SEE THESE AMAZING ANIMALS.. WHAT AN HONOUR TO BE SO CLOSE AND TO SEE HOW GENTLE THEY ARE... THANKU FOR SHARING THIS AMAZING SITE
Researchers who have studied whales' brains have discovered the part that concerns empathy and benevolence is comparatively larger than in humans. They have been documented helping humans and other creatures. 💜
I only wish we had more humans acting like these beautiful sea angels.
I wonder if that includes killer whales, like Orcas.
That's so awesome. Every video I see is of them being gentle giant creatures ❤️
No kidding
yea maybe they thought he was stuck like "get on my back"
I’m currently doing a presentation at school on the Southern Right Whale, I know pretty much everything about them and I think this is one. They are one of the biggest whale species in the world, they travel about 1,600 kms around the southern hemisphere a day! They vary from 16-18 meters long and are often very playful and curious around humans. They are the most gentle, lovely, kind animals on the planet and we cant afford to lose them!
That's a typo right - 1,600 kilometres a day.? I can't even do that on a high speed motorcycle. Anyway, good luck with your presentation. Cetaceans are a great topic.
@@Liiddyyy I guess that's swimming for 24 hours then. When the time is right - do a few PADI scuba diving courses & experience the wonder of diving with other marine animals. I've been doing that for many years - swimming with seals, dolphins, manta rays & sharks ( I'm a certified shark diver ). Have even been approached by Orcas.!
@@jimcottee9187 there is nothing more humbling than swimming with an ocean creature. I grew up on Florida's Space Coast and have swam with lots of dolphins, manatee, shark, and even alligators! The Indian River Lagoon is a magical place! ❤️
Best of luck on your presentation! ❤️
Thank you for sharing this 🙏 I wish you luck with your studies . We must clean the oceans and protect these beautiful creatures 🙏
That's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
The sheer volume of gentle love in that life form... humbling.
“Oh hey there. You tired? Need a flipper? Here ya go”. That is absolutely magical seeing the interaction between two sentient species
I was thinking " Hey what happens if I do this. Ohhh, hey that's cool!" The paddleboarder was like a bath time rubber ducky, for whales. 😊
Yet human kind is determined to make them go extinct: The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 👈💖
It seems like at first the whale tried to push gently but probably miscalculated how strong he was compared to the tiny little human so it was a bit too much but the second push was juuust right and what the whale intended in the first place. This also shows that the whale used a trial-and-error problem-solving method to figure out how to satisfy his curiosity without causing harm.
i don't think it's that deep bro
Second push? I saw one.
@@cindyknudson2715 The first one was at 0:20, the second is at 0:45, he raises his flipper to push a second time but decides otherwise and just grazes the boat with its back. Or idk, maybe a rough wave just happened to pass by and I interpreted it as the whale being extremely gentle.
@@paulfisher3322 Haha, possibly
@@paulfisher3322 problem solving skills are often practiced during play. If you can't solve problems, then you're not going to survive as an animal.
What awesome creatures. After all we've put them through, you got to wonder why they would interact with us.
As a reminder of: _You can still make things right._

Not everyone is alike. Animals definitely know that too

Awesome! When these glorious beautys
My wife and I were out surfing one day and no one was out because it was a bit choppy. About 30 feet away we see a fin! Then another and another! Dolphins! The whole pod swam under and between us. Truly a religious experience.
It almost remisses with the movie "finding Nemo" and what Dory thought of the deep sea angler and it's glowy lure.... " Ooh I want to touch it!" Awesome clip love it!
It's incredible how careful it was being. It was very mindful of the kayak like how you handle a newborn kitten. They must know how big and powerful they are. That kind of self awareness is extremely rare. Humans even struggle with it at times.
Most humans struggle with it ALL the time ;)

I went whale spotting off Frazer Island in Queensland years ago, I was not prepared for the raw emotion I felt when I saw the first Mama Whale with her calf , the humpback whales give birth there, I just burst out crying, I had no control of my emotions for 15 minutes, I still don’t know why I cried, it was like my spirit had a mind of its own, it was unforgettable 💕🌈🦋
Relax, it's just a whale.
The music’s awesome also❤️!
Kind, gentle and very forgiving. Humans could learn a thing or two.
This brings tears to my eyes just thinking of how amazing that experience must have been for the paddleboarder... what a beautiful and memorable encounter. These whales are such gentle and majestic creatures. There is such beauty in this world we take for granted every day as a race of beings. Life and all its wonderment and experiences are such a gift. When these incredible animals begin to trust us to be kind and gentle with them evil has to rear its ugly head somewhere in this world. These experiences are the balance of nature we desperately need to remind us of how precious life is... not just our own, but all living creatures on this earth God has entrusted us to care for.
Thank you for putting into words what I was feeling. Incredible.
It is utterly ASTONDING how gentle these massive creatures can be.....and you can tell he/she knew exactly what they were doing !

The fin is bigger than the boater lol.
Totally waving!

@@amazingsupergirl7125 I can't remember details other than I am positive I had heard that certain whale species not only use calls to communicate but they Flash different colored parts of their bodies like the tops and bottoms of their fins to communicate with each other as well.
The whale did like a happy dance after he pushed the paddle board. XD This music is really nice and magical. Reminds me of Made in Abyss.
That gentle push moved that thing like it was nothing. I could imagine the damage caused was no joke

Huge honour, but I admit I would also be scared to death 🥶
@@arcticgoddess You would be mesmerized, no time to think...
Exactly, so large, but yet so graceful.
This is in Puerto Madryn, Chubut, Argentina, they are what is called "Southern Right Whale" in English and "Ballena Franca Austral" in Spanish, they come to reproduce at our coast between June and November. From beaches like El Doradillo they can be seen in a very close distance and, in high season, constantly, due to the large number of them. The depth in the coast drops suddenly which allows them to swim a very short distance from the shore. Here you can make sightings that consist of go out to sea in a boat and letting them get closer (they are VERY curious) and the best experience is seeing them jump or swim with their babies. In Puerto Madryn, they are protected and studied and there are museums and information about them. They are magical, they transmit a lot of peace, it is incredible how something so big can be so peaceful.
Very cool, thanks!
Wow thanks for sharing!
And that’s a good thing too because they could have swallowed his ass whole
So gentle giants ❤️
Sounds like Heaven x
😲 Such gentleness from the whale!
Always amazes me how many comments on animals videos are about the admiration of compassion and kindness shown by animals, yet the amount of it I see in day to day life is forever declining.
These are not the same people... Take on the mega corps and see how that goes... Until they are on board not much can be done, yet they keep getting bigger...

The sheer awesomeness of being next to an animal that large must have been breathtaking. It didn't mean any harm was just casually inquisitive about what it's seeing. A bit alarming i'm sure for the paddle boarder with something that large coming so close. But after your initial fear you realize their is nothing to fear. Just a beautiful exchange between two species.
Such gentle giants and absolutely beautiful to see. ❤❤😊😊😊
Even a large Whale was showing him kindness. I bet it'll be an experience he'll never forget. Just amazing.
It's very clear on who the great one was.

I doubt it. The paddleboarder was sleeping.
Whale swimming up to a man:
- Hey, let's play!
- And I will introduce you to my lady!
I’ve only ever been near whales in an actual ship, a 140’ trawler. Just once but it was amazing. They were pilot whales, I think, and came up to the bow and made it plain that they were checking us out. We waved at them and checked them out too, thrilled to be so close. The coolest part was that they took off but came right back with two of their babies, clearly showing us to the little whales. It was probably a warning to the babies that we were dangerous but it was one of the coolest things I’ve ever experienced, witnessing another creature educate its children about me. There are undoubtedly intelligent minds inside those giant bodies.
Wow !! What an amazing story.

lol, pretty sure these paddleboaters are terrified. you can see they move FAST when the whales attention is turned, but stay perfectly still when being watched. Orca's are not friendly to their food - they like to play with it.
@@Anthony-tj7jx These were not Orcas - the killer whale. In another video I was a massive whale protect a diver from a great white shark. He his her with his fin and directed her to stay on that side of him as he swam her away from the shark, towards her boat where she was hauled up.
Not two, only one.
What is so AMAZING is just how careful this creature was with the paddleboarder. He just nudged the end of the board enough to propel it gently forward, when he could have easily crushed it. This shows true intelligence and compassion. Wow. If only we could show these same gentle creatures the same compassion.
I make your words mine… Well said ❤
We do!
@@dorcaskerr6384
There are a few countries who don’t. They hunt them.
@@dorcaskerr6384No unfortunately we don't. All the Orca's and Dolphin's stuck in pool's instead of the ocean because they were taken. My heart breaks for all of them. ❤
Yeah it would be nice. But in reality we're going to turn their home into an uninhabitable wasteland, but not before the Japanese harpoon them in the face.
Its a good thing somebody was hovering over top , just at the right moment to capture it. What timing !
Whales are known to be altruistic. I wonder at what point the whale realized it was not a distressed fish floating but a human on something plastic. Beautiful. And props to the human for staying calm. ❤
Why did this bring a tear to my eye? This is just mesmerising
May because what our species did to them in the past and what our species does to nature as a whole now?
It’s the music 🙄
You chopping onions too 😢
Because you know deep down if they are curious to get this close eventually it will be a bad person that will kill them. Humans are disgusting
It's the music that's doing the leg work here. Put on a joyful tune to it and it would be different.
I love how curious and gentle they are. They could easily kill us. I swam with dolphins once. I didn't know it at first. I was a kid, swimming in San Diego off of Pacific Beach. I was farther out than usual, the water was deep enough so that my feet weren't touching the sea floor, but I was a strong swimmer. I could still see my mom and other beach-goers on the shore. Then I saw some of them waving at me, and I waved back. Then they kept waving at me. Then some started throwing themselves into the water to swim toward me, and that was when I realized I was surrounded by fins. The first thought in my mind, and apparently my mom's and about 50 other people's minds, was "SHARKS!" 🤣 BUT, as it turned out, it was a pod of dolphins. The REALLY cool thing was that the lifeguards said a great white had just been spotted in the area, and the dolphins MAY have been forming a protective cocoon around me to keep me safe. I don't know if that's true, but they definitely weren't shy. I could have reached out and touched several of them, but it kind of freaked me out and I did not go back into the water that day. 😂
Dolphin can be quite aware and protective of us, I use to swim with them all then time in the Gulf of Florida and they have an innate knowledge that we don't belong there in the deep water. Had one that was so insistent that I was in trouble when I dove off the boat doing a cannon ball that he got under me and pushed me right back up to the surface with his head under my butt and flipped me onto the rear climbing board. Me and my grandfather had a good laugh and I gave him a rub on the head because he kept circling keeping an eye on me making sure I was alright. I couldn't dive in or I had an over protective dolphin trying to get me back up to the surface, if I slipped in and swam around they would stay by my side.
dolphins are notoriously rapey. they may have been sizing you up
Thanks for sharing that great story!
@@SilvaDreams that is amazing! Aww. They didn't want you to drown. How sweet. ❤️
@@Mattjki thank you for your kind comment! 🙂
I think it's beautiful how gentle the whale is!

This is how life is suppose to be, absolute harmony among man and animals.. well done..
It will be When JESUS IS ON THE THRONE... Isaiah 11:8 the infant will play by the cobra’s den and the toddler will put his hand in the viper’s nest without harm.
probably wouldn't be your comment if the video showed a tiger dragging a child from its home in some indian village.
No one knows how life is supposed to be.
Why you guys gotta turn his nice positive comment into arguments, he wishes for peace and a better world, thats a good thing.
@@londiniumarmoury7037 because it's such a ridiculous comment. "supposed to be" is the brutal competition for survival on this planet....unless one is evoking a god who intended all life's creatures to get along and shake hands in the morning...in which case he really f'd up.
The whale sees him as a friend and gave him a light nudge to keep going. Such a kind intelligent and majestic living being.
All life through Christ!
true definition of a gentle giant
The whale is so gentle
Imagine that a fish so large is self aware of its size and can be logical enough to figure out how to be gentle with something. Just wow. These animals are so smart.
Mammal
"A fish"
*HOO BOY*
Fish? Good grief.
@@gammonsandwich1756 ...Definitely going to need a bigger boat.
“A Fish”
*several people are typing*
Such gentle animals given their size and could easily kill a human. We need to have more respect for animals such as this. And for nature as a whole. "Amazing".
It's almost sad we refer to them as animals. rather than ' beings ' . ' 'Animal'connotates creatures that act mainly by instinct while whales obviously exhibit intellect
sadly , most "humans " don't have respect for anything.
I have seen humpback whales slapping the water with their pectoral fins and the bang goes right through your boat and rattles your teeth. It could swat you like a fly. When I saw this whale raise its fin I thought it could so easily do that.
@@philgray1023 Yep, it probably thought the surfer was a toy since he was pushing him around lol.
@@markh3055 We Humans are animals like them. We have eyes, mouth, blood, intestines, other organs like them. We Humans are animals, just destroying other animals, more like destroying ourselves.
Whale is being so careful and gentle. ❤😊
One of the reasons I love Whales and Dolphins they look out for Man when he's on the Great Blue Sea! Kinda like Guardian Angels of the Sea.
Truly amazing footage! In July 2009, I went for a surf at Anzacs Beach, Phillip Island, Australia and saw a large crowd watching a whale that had already been there for some hours already. (I spent about half an hour before and after my surf taking photos with my DSLR.) I was one of the closest surfers to the whale at one stage, which seemed to be watching all of US! Knowing that they can communicate with each other over vast distances with their sounds, I slapped the water once, with both hands, as hard as I could. The whale slapped the water with a fin once. I then slapped the water twice. The whale slapped its fin twice. Yes, then I slapped the water three times and that whale slapped the water with its fin three times. Are whales intelligent? No more questions, Your Honour!
Как это удивительно жить рядом с океаном, я живу в Сибири и море видела 3 раза в жизни. Вы счастливые люди
Это очень интересно !
i would do anything for this experience
Beautiful spot at Cape Woolamai, I live an hour or so away in Gippsland and frequently head to the Island. sounds like the best experience!! I'm a bit jealous tbh 🤣 Definitely intelligent creatures for sure. Lucky it wasn't another type of creature like the Great White that Vic Hislop caught near there years ago! The San Remo pub still has the picture up i think! Cheers for your story fellow Aussie 🤙
Nice story and a great experience.
What a wonderful sight and experience. Whales are truly spectacular, caring, intelligent and majestic creatures. I love them.
No they recognize we are top of the food chain and if they don’t wanna get harpooned they. Better make sure that human comes back in one piece. This is an example of our immense power as humans and the subjugation of those big beasts! USA! USA! uSA!
ok@@Mynipplesmychoice

What a gift! To have not one but two of these beautiful creatures showing off for you. You were definitely blessed that day!!
Do we truly realize how lucky we are to be alive?
So beautiful and serene. If only we could be more like them...
Human beings should disappear ritenow and let the planet flourish again like how it was thousands of years ago
Why can't you, we, me? Just stop pretending you aren't the most amazing creation on this planet. Stop following followers and stop listening to idiots that think the human race should go away. LoL Probably watches too much CNN. It amazes me how some people can be so stupid they're too dumb to know how ignorant they have allowed themselves to become. Have a funderful day! :)
Man is so destructive.
@@traceylamplugh8095 Man is also quite creative.
@@georgemartin4963 And creative with wars, suffering, greed, corruption, extinction. We spend so much time with things that don't matter, as much, ie celebrities, money and nonsense. Sure there are good people but the bad ones get more recognition, for some reason.
So absolutely beautiful. It breaks my heart to know that the idiocy of humans murder these sentient beings.

There are predatory whales. They're intelligent, but also understand the concept of the circle of life, that some will perish so others can live, and that life eats life. I think if we could communicate, whales would understand why humans hunt. Apex predators serve a function, which is why I don't eat meat unless it is sustainably hunted by someone I know or I fish it myself.
"human bad animal good" so childish. If you actually want to protect animals, you should be encouraging a sustainable resource chain. Ecological pacifism is not sustainable, and not just for humankind.
@@VeganSemihCyprus33 get your propaganda out of here, worthless establishment mouthpiece. You're just as bad as the .01%ers that fly around in private jets and tell working class people they're destroying the environment by driving to work.
@@DiggitySlice I agree with you that eco pacifism don't solved the problem, we need something more concrete, but at the same time it also don't do more harm to us or others right? I don't get why are so upset about them? Let them be, respect their thoughts like i am respecting yours, they don't tell you to shut up and so should you
The gentleness of this moments is more than can be articulated ... the heart of this beautiful animal is bigger than his body size... now I want to go cry 😢 😁😱❤
Whales are very curious and such gentle beings. Toys for whales. ❤️🔷❤️🌹
My god. This is an incredible footage. Really showed how enormous those creatures are.
And only half the size of a blue whale

What an absolute honour for the paddleboarder. How wonderful to live with that having happened to you.
I often wish the animals I get so excited to see could understand.
@@jasondashney they do understand!
Their gentleness is amazing, their intelligence curiosity and acceptance is nothing short of educational.
Just beautiful, so gentle.
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Clearly the whale meant no harm. Just beautiful.
I’d be much too terrified to go out in the open ocean on a paddleboard, but what I wouldn’t give to have a giant sentient mammal give me a gentle nudge. 💙
I'd be careful letting the internet know you are looking to get nudged by a giant sentient mammal, some are probably reading this right now.
@@donmcleod4371 lol
@@donmcleod4371 don’t make this weird, Don. I just want a whale to give me a gentle push on a paddleboard. A little high five on my hand. Maybe a small pat on the head. 😌
To who it may concern: If your weight isn’t somewhere between 4 to 150 tons, you are not a giant sentient mammal and therefore I would not care for a nudge.
@@notolivia688 😂😂😂wooow 🙏I just choked on my own laugh. 😂. 😂😂
Half the people in Walmart meet that description. Though I suppose the "sentient" part is a debatable.
Wow! What an experience! You could definitely witness the intentional awareness displayed by both whales to use minimal output of their flippers as to protect the humans in the water. Good thing they weren’t breaching 😮
What a beautiful interaction! I only wish this video was longer! ❤
We know who holds all the power in this situation, and he/she wields it with the gentle push. Love this!
@@pansito6284 Possibly out of respect ?
This is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. Civilization doesn’t realize, how badly we need to protect these animals and our oceans. These creatures are majestically beautiful, and so gentle. Could take you down with one swift move, and yet they dont. They’re not violent man eaters. Their intelligence is very close to a humans.
People give way to much credit to human intelligence. The main reason we have been so successful as a species comes down to hand dexterity (an opposable thumb) and the ability to create tools. Try doing that with flippers. These beasts are likely much more intelligent, they just lack the physical means to take advantage of the bounty of nature.
@@simonw3858 absolutely agree. Just saying that because we obviously can’t understand them, but have studied them enough to know they’re just as intelligent as humans or could be more intelligent. Humans aren’t intelligent enough to fully understand any animal. 🤷🏽♂️ half of the mammals and reptiles on this planet are definitely smarter than most of the humans I’ve ever met lol.
@@simonw3858 well put mate,I didnt even think about that..
@@irukandji54 a fellow aussie?
@@simonw3858 couldn't agree more. If humans are so intelligent, you have to ask why we are in such an evil rut at this moment in time.
Wow, pure magic!!, what in interaction with wildlife, so envious, pure bliss that’ll last forever in paddle boarders memory like it was yesterday, respect to the whale and boarder🙏🏼🙌✌️
Their awareness of space never ceases to blow my mind! Absolutely beautiful! ❤
Sometimes these moments with nature take us to somewhere even the most pragmatic of us can't describe. Absolutely beautiful creations.

@@VeganSemihCyprus33 cause is human greed!
@Fremen well being doesn’t mean immoral behaviour, unethical conduct, unprincipled attitude. Killing or hurting any living life especially when the animal is not hurting the human being, is sin!
@Fremen ‘sin’ is a term that differentiates between an unknowingly committed mistake and a knowingly carried out immoral, unethical, unprincipled act and this proves that sin or mistake are not religious terms because if sin is religious then mistake too automatically becomes religious! So forget that sin or mistake has any religion attached to it! A sin is done purposefully while a mistake happens without purpose!
@Fremen legality, laws, constitutions, acts, etc. shit things are merely cover used to hide the satanic mentality present within human being, these shits pave way for something called as ‘compromise’, these things provide cover to sin and get acquitted to a satanic person with no principles, no moral values, no ethics. A society bound by principles, moral values, ethical behaviour and conducts, never need artificial constitutions, laws, acts, false isms like secularism, socialism, etc.
How cute. It definitely pulls on the old heartstrings 💞
