Magical Whale moment grabs attention on social media

A breathtaking and heartwarming moment unfolded as a giant whale was seen gently approaching a paddler amid the deep blue oceans. The moment captured by a drone is a sight to remember as the giant animal who is often considered dangerous showed a connection with the paddler creating a cute and magical experience underneath the blue-green waters. 

The whale slowly approached the paddler, who also didn’t rush into threat and stayed calm and composed while the giant animal was playing with her. The Whale immediately started coming closer to the human to interact with the woman onboard. 

The animal who was just inches away from the boat, would have made massive trembles in the ocean as it was approximately 3 times the boat. The person onboard stated that her experience was very unique as she was feeling scared and lucky at the same time. 

"It was like the whale was trying to get the attention of the person, just like a puppy does when it wants you to play with it," the paddler said. 

At first, the whale was traveling parallel to the boat, but then the whale started playing with the boat and swimming beneath it. However, the ultimate fairytale moment took place when the whale pushed the boat gently with her fin and glided the boat ahead. 

While the Paddler embraced the opportunity, she stated it as a ‘once in a lifetime opportunity’. The moment became even more extraordinary when one of the whale partners joined in between. The huge tender creatures gave a beautiful experience of gentleness, curiosity, intelligence, and respect and ultimately, they swam off the boat together. 

Whales who are enormously huge are often not aggressive, but due to their incredibly big size are considered a threat among humans. The animals are generally playful and curious about humans and often come closer to humans so they pet them. 

This once-in-a-lifetime video is making rounds over social media as social media users are stating their opinions and statements regarding the video. 

A social media user stated her own experience in the comment section, which she experienced a few years ago. 

The user said that it was a blessing for her to experience a similar experience in Maui, where she learned that there was an area in the southwest to see dolphins more easily. She noted that she had this experience along with her daughter and family, she then stated that they also saw a pod of dolphins. 

“The whole pod of at least 20 dolphins went past me on both sides and one of the dolphins was a mommy with her baby that was nursing. The baby was about 24-30 inches long and it was within 3 feet of me,” the user wrote. 

“That had to be one of the biggest blessings that I've ever had in my 82 years. Just remembering it makes the tears come. Thank you, Lord, for that amazing experience.” the user added in her social media comment. 

Another user named Gary Sandvig stated that grey whales often perform these gestures when they travel Pacific coast to North America. 

“Not to burst the bubble. The Grey Whales that travel the Pacific coast of North America do this as well. Showing the same curiosity and respect as an intelligent creature does. But the Pacific tribes of Northwest Washington want to go out and kill one because it's a tribal right. So, the whales that for years now have interacted with humans peacefully may have a new experience when passing through the Northwest,” the social media comment read. 

Rachel McGarry, another user, noted it as an incredible gesture comparing humans with that of the giant and the wonder of nature.

“That's incredible, we are so tiny against the awesome power of nature. But humankind has the final day when our natural world comes to an end. Destroying Our own habitat and existence. What other Beast of the Earth does that? And we are meant to be intelligent the size of that mammal and yet so precise in its interaction with Human beings,” the user wrote. 

However, this experience remains one of the most cherished and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities not just for the paddlers but for those too who are experiencing this over social media. As social media nowadays is flooded with videos ranging from controversies to crime and fights to all negativity, such heartwarming and adorable moments emerge to be what can be called a ‘relief to the heart’.
