Watching whales swim is like poetry in motion.

It's incredible to think that those mesmerizingly elegant 'dancing' whales are so huge, weighing tons! I love the little baby in the beginning, it's like a little sidecar.

When will whales release their music on iTunes?

Just as any other child, I would ask everyone what their favourite animal. My mom always replied with "Whales, especially humback whales". I never understood why whales was her favourite animal until recently. Its such a beautiful creature. The way they manage to be so graceful while still being the largest creatures known on earth. If I could wish for one thing it would be to meet a whale some day. Would rather meet these whales than a celebrity ngl.

I wish I knew how complex the whales really were! I’ve seen one humpback carry its stillborn calf around for 3 days. She was clearly mourning. So, if they can mourn so deeply they must love. If they love then every other emotion MUST be felt, right? Love IS the most complex emotion. I like to believe that whales are exactly like us! That they communicate in complex sentences, that they speak with body language, that they “know” things. I don’t think they are aimlessly swimming and eating like fish. You look into the eye of a fish and tell me what you see. I see nothing. Pure carnality. Look into the eyes of a whale (or any other mammal i.e. porpoises, orca
