That straight line military charge at the very beginning gives me chills. Such magnificent intelligent animals.

God, this breaks my heart. Ā I just saw Deep Blue where 2 killer whales attack a baby humpback that was clutching to its mother. Ā They kept trying to separate him from its mother for 6 hours and the baby was too exhausted to hold on. Ā I can't get over how terrifying it must be to be stalked and attacked like that for SIX HOURS. Ā and then the mother has to keep on her journey, alone. Ā I was sobbing. Ā I know it's just life and life can be brutal, but damn it's hard to watch.

Humpback whales are truly selfless and full of compassion (more than most humans are capable of), or else they would not have dared this rescue. We give these wondrous, sentient creatures too little credit for their bravery.
-
The opening shot of the killer whales in sync is freaking scary.
-
humpbacks will always try to protect, sadly sometimes they may not complete there mission but they try there best. humpbacks will always be the guardian and it warms my heart to know they try, R.I.P baby humpback...
-
This is fascinating. Orcas terrorize other whales. I find it interesting to see the intervention of the Humpbacks...perhaps this means they are able to understand the Grey's distress call?

Humpback whales: defending the creatures of the sea, and protecting earth from interstellar threats since the 80s!

Whale War I

Very proud of my sister who was the first to spot the Humpbacks and filmed this incredible footage.
-
RIP little grey whale ;-;
-
That's sad. To think the humpbacks tried to save the baby, but failed.
-
Humpbacks: I'm sorry ma'am, we tried everything we could, but the situation is beyond us. My condolences.
-
Humpbacks are frequently targeted and killed by Orca... They knew the threat and also the risks... but went out of their way to try and help a totally different species to them. Let that sink in.

Put a camera under water, all it looks like to us is whales splashing around the surface.
-
This is why I love humpback whales. They are my favourite animals š
-
fun fact: humpback whales are very friendly animals and are known as 'buddhist warriors' they always try and help other species like in this clip.
-
Humpback whales are amazing creatures. I've seen them save seals, humans, and now another whale! Amazing, beautiful creatures. They attempted to put themselves between the killer whale's and the baby; but unfortunately it was a bit late. They're just beautiful creatures.

Humpback Whales are, and ever shall be, my favourite animal
-
I loved the part where the fin pokes out of the water but my favorite part was where the fin goes back in the water but then if comes out again. Crazy plot twist!
