Typically blue whales are very focused on feeding and not too interested in coming over to say hi. But this whale made repeated passes directly under us. Please remember this encounter happened all while the boat’s engines were turned off and not moving. A few times a year, we get to see whales initiate these special encounters.’ #Earth #Environment #ClimateCrisis #NowThis Connect with NowThis Earth » Follow us on TikTok: » Follow us on Instagram: » Follow us on Snap: » Follow us on Facebook: NowThis Earth is daily news coverage of climate, sustainability, biodiversity, species extinction, environmental justice, and other planetary concerns.
