  • A rare encounter was caught on video at Puerto Madryn, Argentina when a southern rIght whale seemingly plays with a woman on a paddleboard and pushes the board gently forward, observing its movement as it swims directly beneath it. "They are rare moments, it is something that is prohibited," said Oscar Comes, a local water-sports tourism operator. "It isn't like you can go in a kayak, standup board, a boat, or whatever, to look for the animal."

    It's amazing how gentle it is, it has to take a lot of effort to be so gentle when it's that big. It's easy to see that the whale was very conscientious of how easily it could hurt or damage the woman on the paddleboard. What was going through its head? Whatever it was must have been kinder than what goes through the heads of many humans.
