Maybe the effects of RIMPAC😮

Wow!

[@nelks1284]

So nice to hear something positive for a change!

Wasn't there a calf that got separated from it's mother last winter. Maybe mom is still looking for her calf.

So cool!

Do you see how the land looks like a whale? They can see it too when they peek their head out of the water... because the Hawaiians have swam with them for thousands of years and they carved that rock. It's kind of like holding a toy up for your dog.

what???????

[@ericsynchrona5495]

@@onekewlbraddah8460 Atlantis was Hawaii. And they had their own animals. The reason it was a secret is because they didn't want people trying to 'sail' to Atlantis even back then. It's impossible the find, especially without computers.

Can’t believe they captured and killed the whale!

[@andrewachal]

No way a whale in the ocean

[@Velvetfish2]

Could it be a Southern humpback WAAAAY off course? They’re migrating in the Southern hemisphere now.

[@TikiRainbows]

Maybe whale is too lazy to swim to Alaska, figured he'd just hang around Hawaii for awhile lol

BS 😂
