Merci Janna Kate de partager cette video.
May she rest in peace
Such an amazing experience.
Awesome creature thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing!! You’re so lucky you got to be there, that was amazing. :)
Rip 😞
Apparently some of them came all this way up the river a long time ago... maybe they were also "lost" or exploring, though ?
This young one looks quite healthy, jumping out of the water all the time and swimming against that current !
Adorable
omg wooow
Thanks! Merci!
That means there are a lot of fish now!
This is what happens when we stop abusing our planet. Spectacular!
It sadly died today. :(
@@diabeetuscat9562 Maybe because the whale came the 31th of may but they opened the marinas the 1st of June among others and else after the lockdown! What a chaos for that animal. We put it in a trap.
@@daviddavidson5189 I totally agree.
Hi! Could you please tell me what time you wrote this video? at what time it was jumping?
Осваивает новые территории. Скоро на сушу выйдет.
here fishy fishy!
Whales are mammals, not fish ;-)
they live in saltwater right 😑😑😑😑
or am I dump 😹😹😹
Yes but they can survive in fresh water for a while
I am afraid of that deviation of comportement. So far into fresh water and fat away of the alt ocean. Their diet consists mostly of krill and small fish. The river is not a real good source of both. Their technic of hunting can't be use it because of the shallow water. I m very concern with the future of that whale. But people see it as a Marine World show without any further questions. Just take that opportunity to open you computer for something else than stupid games and tik tok dances and study different kind of whales, their history, that the Humpback Whale was almost extinct . Study how she live and maybe some nice scientific papers about changes and disturbance of their world. Just not stand their and smiling like morons, take that opportunity to learn. If you care. I don't think it's as fun as it look.
We are well aware that this is not a whale's normal behaviour, but this does not mean that we are not allowed to share footage or observe peacefully what is happening in front of us! Watching this mammal that chose to swim "voluntarily" in a fresh water river raises environmental questions that must not be ignored any longer. To witness nature's abnormalities in the present moment is better than visiting manmade zoos and has nothing in common with Marine World shows. Let's hope it finds its way back to the ocean soon!
Your almost right, except for the fact that a man made zoo is purely cruel for these types of creatures so enjoying one in a natural habitat isn't as bad as paying for a ticket to Marineland. I also did read that people are looking into the whales health and its being monitored to make sure it doesn't die. Im sure if there was a real problem, it would of been relocated. Well atleast I hope our specialists have enough knowledge to make sure its safe.
@@melindag6592 That's exactly my point. No to imprisoned animals in any form! This whale is obviously free and not restricted in any way and I can't see a problem with people just watching it from the harbour. I'm sure specialists will help if needed.
@@jannakate9447 my bad i meant to tag coach's comment
They can eat schools of fish for their diet, and there is: yellow perch for example. They don't need deeper water to hunt: humpbacks hunt by direct attack or by stunning prey by hitting the water with pectoral fins or flukes. They habitually live alone (wich is normal) or keep company with other whales temporarily. They can also vocalize within thousands of kilometers of range, so keep in touch with other whales far away if they want. They are not an endangered speicies (humpback whale), do your research. The river was less poluted with pollutant, noise and ship activity than normally due to the lockdown, so this whale was just exploring a new frontier, possibly. Why are you not asking the whale? It knows the ''why''.
