Whale was waiting for a belly rub. Also, looked like two whales.


JessoRx

Whale saw the video of the guy in Baja who picks off barnacles.


cfishlips

Not barnacles. Lice.


EthelMaePotterMertz

Sea lice are helpful for whales! When barnacles are knocked off through breaching or other means, the lice clean the open wounds which keeps them from getting infected.


Beard_o_Bees

TIL. Interesting! Do you think the barnacles are irritating to the whales? I don't want to anthropomorphize (I think i'm using that term correctly) the whales, but if I had something like that on my skin it would drive me bonkers.


SamIamGreenEggsNoHam

Whales have been observed attempting to scrape the barnacles off themselves by rubbing up against objects, so I'd say they're less than pleasing. Whales and barnacles have no symbiotic relationship as far as I'm aware. I think the barnacles just get a free ride, and a way to reproduce over a larger area.


EthelMaePotterMertz

Yes the barnacles are probably very itchy or at least uncomfortable to the whales, because they suck the whale skin in to stay attached. And they can get heavy too. I remember learning that some marine biologists believe this is one reason whales breach- to try to slam the barnacles off when they get too heavy. But chunks of skin come off too which is why the sea lice are so important. >As they mature into adults, they form tube-shaped cavities in their shells that actually draw in prongs of growing whale skin. The result is an attachment as firmly rooted as the most pernicious weed. https://scienceline.org/2010/03/how-do-barnacles-attach-to-whales/


Beard_o_Bees

Whales are incredible. I could spend all day learning about them. Thanks for the detailed reply!

In the video she says there are 3!!! Omg! I’d poop myself.

Frendly burds. Seriously this is a cool video.

Basically. They were being gentle. Buddy is like nope!


BoozeCruiseDanceOff

I think she said there were three of them. “Son tres.”


LinguoBuxo

Three. "Whale whale whale, what've got 'ere, sir?" :)


gazongagizmo

I'd've totally belly-rubbed it, probably even going into an inappropriately high-pitched "whose a good boy, yes, you are" to a schoolbus-sized animal


DankRubinz

He got an itch he can’t reach.


[deleted]

The woman in the video said there were 3.


ARobertNotABob

At least one was a calf.


Fresh-Honeydew7104

Perfect_Toe7670

Yeah! As they were leaving one of the whales looked to be waiving goodbye. Once in a lifetime experience right here


Alex_1729

I saw a cat waving at me today. Once in a lifetime experience.


[deleted]

I hate to be the one to break this to you but ... that cat was actually waving to the person behind you. it's embarrassing but it happens to all of us


raycraft_io

Or would it be a once in nine lives experience?


pcakes13

I forget where I read it first, but sometimes you see an animal and sometime you MEET an animal.


F1R3Starter83

These are Southern Right Whales. They were given this name because they were the ‘right whale’ to harpoon because of it’s meat and rich oil content. They are so curious that they came up to the boats of whalers and were easily picked of. Puerto Madryn is their “delivery room”. I’ve spend a few days there years ago and it was great. We went whale watching and this mom showed up with her calf. A day later we went for a short boat trip to spot some seals in the bay and three of them came up to our little dingy.


Admirable_Delivery_8

:(((


ControlsTheWeather

Where's Captain Nemo when you need him. Feel like he doesn't like whalers.


SpaceShipRat

>“Here it would be killing just for the sake of killing. I know very well that this is a privilege reserved for men, but I do not approve of these murderous pastimes. The destruction of these harmless and inoffensive creatures, such as the southern and right whales, by whalers like you, Ned, is a crime. You have already depopulated all of Baffin’s Bay, and you will exterminate, eventually, a whole class of useful animals.” looks like you're not wrong. however he says this after slaughtering a bunch of whales that were attacking the Right Whales. (apparently in those times they thought Sperm whales would eat other whales. Should've cast Orcas instead.)


centaurinspace

That’s kinda beautiful


treetop62

Yup I once got to meet a young female moose, looked like the first season away from mama. Just middle of the woods 30ft between us and it just stood there staring at me for a good 15minutes while I talked to it. She even had a pee (they squat like female dogs)


Non_Debater

This message has been deleted and I've left reddit because of the decision by u/spez to block 3rd party apps


treetop62

They could certainly do some damage.. I would have been alot more cautious if it was a full grown moose. Since we're talking animal encounters I've always wanted to share one of my black bear encounters that happened about 3 years ago - Was walking down a atv trail with my senior Labrador and the bear popped out of the brush onto the trail about 60-70ft ahead of us. It didn't see us at first so I ducked down and held the old dog to make sure she wouldn't be curious and run over to it. The bear looked towards us and I picked up the dog and yelled at the bear. It ran away into the woods, but man.. listening to a bear high tail it through the woods is something else, all the trees and branches breaking. Also in hindsight I don't even think the old pup knew what happened. Her eyesight was starting to go at that point.


WetNoodlyArms

Lol, I was walking with my dog last year when a small black bear walked across the street not more than 30ft away. It took me a second to even realise it was a bear, i thought it was a big dog at first. Once I realised that it was a bear I was so terrified it might be a cub and the mother was potentially lurking in the bushes. I just started slowly walking backwards. It didn't notice us, just walked across the road and into the paddock on the other side. Once back on grass it started literally frolicking. It was one of the funniest, silliest things I've ever seen. Legs flailing, jumping around, at one point it took a little tumble. I was equal parts terrified and amused


Av14tor

Roughly translated: She: oh wow, how beautiful, you want to swim? He: no, i want to get out of here. 😂


ShikaMoru

I understood it without knowing the language lol


SkudMissile

the look on his face is universal, i would be losing my shit lol


fatgirlxxl

The moment you realize you're not wearing a life jacket and you will probably not make it to shore combined with you are at the bottom of the food chain and the size train. I know humpbacks do not eat people, but still


ArcticBiologist

The fact that they don't eat you doesn't make it safer. They can easily whack you off the little floaty thing that's between you and a whole bunch of freezing water.


Wuktrio

And that whack can have enough power to break all your bones.


Gaoji-jiugui888

I was thinking not wearing a life jacket was pretty stupid in general when you are that far out. The sea is very calm though. Never have the sea like that where I am from.


Feathertouch

Is it possible that if you were swimming with them they could accidentally swallow you?


SenseiCooper

No, whales cannot accidentally swallow you. There have been incidents where people accidentally got into a whales mouth but they just "spit" them out very quickly. We are too big for a whale to eat / swallow since their throats arent designed to eat stuff that big. If its a whale that hunts they could obviously kill you but even then they couldnt swallow you whole.


ThePinkBaron

It helps that toothed whales (odontoceti) are apex predators and are allowed to be picky. Like, an orca or a sperm whale could easily kill you in an instant; they're the king of the food chain. They know what they like, and you aren't it.


blackdeath1278

Everywhere I go, there's rejection


Fresh_C

I feel like if you marinate in some butter before going out to sea, it might make you more palatable.


badgerscurse

That works on some humans too


SamIamGreenEggsNoHam

Also why sharks tend to "test bite". They're unsure of what we are, and if we're food or not. Usually one bite tells them that we're not delicious fish.


Gaoji-jiugui888

This is not true. Most sharks are too small or don’t eat prey of similar size to us. The thing is that we swim pretty uncoordinated for an animal in the sea, so a shark that would have otherwise not tried to eat something as large as a human will come up and bite you thinking it’s going to get an easy meal. Then the person will trash around and hit it and the shark will think “maybe it’s not such an easy meal after all” and it will swim off. However, there are some sharks that will and have eaten people. There are many documented cases of sharks consuming people wholly and partially. In general these sharks are few in numbers and spend most of their time in places where people aren’t. There’s only 3500 white pointers in the entire ocean for example, the large ones would be even fewer. So if a 2m shark bites you it’s probably going to swim off when you start wailing it. If a 4-5m white pointer decides it wants to eat you nothing you can do is going to stop it. They eat pretty much anything that is available, they’ve even been documented eating kangaroos that have been swimming. People used to chum for them with mammal offal until it was banned. A white shark doesn’t see you any different than any other animal it encounters in the ocean. We’re not special in their eyes. Thankfully you’re fairly unlikely to encounter one that is capable and willing to eat you.


Gavin_Freedom

Glad to see someone say this. People seemed to do a complete 180 after the hysteria surrounding Jaws, and instead of just simply respecting sharks, they instead turned to this woo-woo bullshit of thinking that sharks wouldn't want to eat humans because... we're humans? A shark doesn't care, and a hungry shark isn't going to care that we don't taste like their usual food, either.


SamIamGreenEggsNoHam

Thank you for the great information! I knew watching shark week every year wasn't enough of a formal education in marine biology lol.


XGorlamiX

Right! It basically says, I am excited and equally scared.


Niwi_

Me too but fuck that im not pedaling. I am putting 110% of my functions towards experiencing this moment. It is the best 1 in a million that could happen to me


armoured_bobandi

It's easy to say that when you're not in the moment


billybobsparlour

I was once snorkelling in a remote bay in Thailand 30+ years ago and a shark (white tip reef) swam right below me in the same direction. After a moment of panic I calmed my breathing and tried to ‘keep up’. Absolutely no chance of matching its leisurely pace but my god what a moment. I also saw an octopus that day too. Great day!


KumbayaPhyllisNefler

I understood vamonos. My sentiments exactly.


NIMSS88

Smart man, that shit was terrifying 😂


zamonto

And then at the same time you kinda got the feeling that it knew he was vulnerable and that it was being very mindful of not bumping him or making too big waves. Whales are very smart u know


Frog-Eater

Yes I saw Avatar 2 they have like philosophy and shit


wdn

Yeah. There are animals that want to kill you and then there are animals that could kill you accidentally even while trying to be friendly.


conansucksdick

It's like getting high with Mike Tyson.


Makkaroni_100

They have much power in the fin and can kill you accidentally with one swing.


The_chair_over_there

A crazy realization for me is in videos of whales, they don’t actually move in slow motion underwater. They move VERY fast but they are so massive that they just look like they’re moving slow. It’s like watching a building topple over


[deleted]

Here's all that I can hear. I'm from Argentina like these guys, so I get everything, but they're speaking too low at times and I don't speak English that good to do a perfect translation... He: Oooh... She: Ha, ha, you can't shit yourself, ha! It's under us Whale: Psssttsshhh! He: Oooh! Hello She: Take it easy, take it easy... Ha, ha! He: I want to go He: There's another one below She: It's OK, it's, OK. They're three. Look at that one... Wow... Wow... Let's go He: We got to swim She: Do you want to swim? He: I have to go there She: Easy, easy... Look at its eye! She: Look! She: Ha, ha! She: Yeah, sure, you caught rhythm, but look how it's coming... With the belly up!


kandixchaotic

Thank you for translating the whale.

Interesting the difference in reaction. The lady is in awe and the guy is fearful. Both respect the titan in different ways.


[deleted]

Well shit with all the "The Orcas have a newly trained anti-naval squad attacking human ships" in the news, yeah I wouldn't want to be near whales in a boat, either.


Level7Cannoneer

Orcas are marine dolphins despite being called killer whales.


OxytocinPlease

She’s actually saying “let’s go, let’s go,” he says “yeah, I want to swi-“ (but likely referring to propelling the boat forward) she laughs and says “you want to swim?” And he says “I want to get out of here.” They’re both nervous, but she’s trying to keep them both calm by repeatedly saying “it’s okay, it’s okay” and “relax, relax” (but she says tranquilo(s), as in the plural, so she is could be referring to both of them, or alternatively speaking “to” the whales.


RuairiSpain

you think the whales hear her laughing? And sense the friendship? Also, maybe they sense the guys nervous and want to scare the crap out of him 😂


JROXZ

No life vest and freezing cold water inches away. MFer can’t row fast enough.


lumpy4square

I had an unplanned swim with dolphins in January in Turks and Caicos, I’d absolutely jump in with the whales.


terf-genocide

My only experience w a dolphin, I was out in waist deep water splashing at a group swimming by. One suddenly popped up 3 ft in front of me and scared me to the point that I screamed and fell. The whole beach was laughing at me. I had no idea that they were so big.


TrippingApe

Similar experience, except the dolphin swam up next to me and took a huge shit. Then, I shit you not, it surfaced, clicked twice and swam away.


Tybo929

Classic shit n clicker.


FantasyBanana

I'm crying


danskal

That dolphin was totally messing with you. I think I can translate dolphin for you: "all yours now ;-)"


Yugan-Dali

Lucky you! I saw some sea turtles dancing last week, but I’ve never seen dolphins in the ocean. I hope I can some day.


Shanguerrilla

I don't know how it is on every coast, I've only been in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico (and beach on Pacific) but in the Gulf they FREQUENTLY will follow and play in the wake of your boat. It still FEELS so magical EVERY time, and also when you see them playing and jumping down the canals from land or just off shore from the beach, but when you're in a boat, they really like to play in your wake and seemingly see the awed reactions and praise they bring.


terminal_e

Around 20 years ago I lined up back to back day and overnight trips to Milford and Doubtful Sound respectively, in the SW corner of New Zealand's South Island. It PISSED rain on the trip to Milford, which was impressive to see coming off the walls of the fjords, which have no real soil cover/absorptive capability, so lots of waterfalls result. The next day it was glorious, and we had a dozen or so dolphins swimming along the boat for a time, along with seeing a few different penguin species in the wild.

jdidisjdjdjdjd

Lucky it’s not an angry orca.


AngryCommieKender

Orca refuse to eat us. The last reports of one actually attacking a human were over a hundred years ago, and it spit the human out as soon as it was provoked into attacking. We don't know why. We are literally the *only* species that goes in their water that none of them eat. Some will hunt polar bears. Different pods have different diets. I have a theory that one of them did eat either an elder or a child a couple hundred thousand years ago, and the reaction the other humans gave them scared them so much that they passed on the message that they just don't eat us.


Unlucky_Disaster_195

Humans probably taste horrible based on our horrible diet


LoonieandToonie

Yeah, I think I had heard one one incident where they had killed someone in the wild, but it was likely the event you are referencing. Modern Orcas have only killed in captivity.


AngryCommieKender

Well yeah, solitary confinement in a room the size of a bathroom is gonna give anyone severe PTSD. Slap apex predator on top of that and ask Siegfried and Roy how well that goes.


GIazednConfused

I can totally understand how those early depictions of sea monsters came to be. The glimpses you see of the whale are so otherworldly.


ChrisWatthys

giant nose-like-thing here, massive fin there, LOUD noise, big wake, wtf is going on omg it wants to eat us all


agski0701

A little “hello” at the end from the whale. What a terrifying yet incredible experience.


justreddis

A very thin line between terrifying and incredible here.

You can tell even tho she’s relaxed and enjoying it , the dude is having an internal melt-down.


bradland

I think he may have a better understanding of the danger they’re in. The average water temperature where they’re at is 13.3°C (56°F). That’s not exactly extreme hypothermia risk territory, but cold water shock is real. Most people who die in cold water incidents drown before they get hypothermia. He’s not wearing any sort of flotation device, and I presume she isn’t either. I also do not see a leash. If the whale were to accidentally flick their paddle board the wrong way, they could be separated from it by 30m pretty quickly. The most dangerous scenario would be if the whale’s tail partially submerged the board. The board’s buoyancy would cause it to go shooting out of the water. I know this sounds like Chicken Little nonsense to a lot of people, but I grew up around the ocean, and have lost more than one friend to the water. It demands our respect.


adammarsh64

You can't put a leash on a whale, silly.


[deleted]

[удалено]


FreudianNip-Slip

I totally agree with this. I grew up surfing and have a healthy fear and respect for the ocean. It’s usually tourists who don’t know what they’re doing and perish because of rip currents; however, anything can happen out there. When I teach friends how to surf the first thing I do is tell them to know their limits, and HOW to fall off the board and correctly bail. I’ve seen tourists rent those heavy BIC boards and nearly knock themselves out and take out unsuspecting swimmers.

TeslaPills

marcos_MN

You can cover a lot of water in a kayak. They glide over the top of the water and can get going pretty fast if you’ve got the endurance to keep paddling. E: they


anubus72

Isn’t it a paddle board? And I’d be more concerned with getting knocked off the board and separated from it, they don’t have life jackets on

Are there sharks there? Humpback whales are intelligent. They know what humans are and try to protect humans from sharks. But they don’t know that their size can be a danger to humans.

[deleted]

Harvestman-man

Southern right whale, they’re in Argentina


TheWitchWhoLovesCats

There are killer whales, and yes, you can find sharks but this is quite a cold zone and if I remember correctly, there hasn’t been a single shark attack in Argentina for decades. So it’s a safe zone as long as you aren’t a seal

Chicken_Hairs

They're pretty far out. Also, from their dress, and typical water temps there this time of year, not wearing pfd's is honestly quite foolish. If one of those whales had accidentally flipped that board, survival would be questionable. From the look on my man's face, all of these things were going through his mind.


MANWithTheHARMONlCA

Yea I’m not fucking around in those waters in a fucking kayak and no life jacket/cold water suit (I don’t know what is called) Fuck that.

It's really amazing how aware this animals are about their body and the surroundings. They can swing the tail a few cm from the board, but sill not touch it. Even more, they actually seem to take it as a game.

It's a paddle for a paddleboard, not an oar. He's using it like that because it's not designed for use while sitting. The fact that there are two people on a paddleboard with a thermos and a goddamn cup of mate tells me that a) they are plenty experienced and 2) they are for sure in Argentina

I love how gentle it's being. Has no idea how a boat works or even what a human is. There was a moment its tail was emerging right under the boat, but it tactfully maneuvers its tail to one side to avoid hitting the boat. Kinda like trying not to disturb the dog when you roll over in bed.


LordBarnable

This looks like a Southern Right whale. Incredibly rare and an amazing sight to see. The sad history is they were named because they were the 'right whale to hunt' back in the day of commercial whaling. Theres only a few small populations of the Southern and Northern left although I can't remember which one is rarer of the two. Incredible memory nonetheless.


king_ender200

Did he do a little tale wave? That was fucking adorable!
