| That is fantastic ! Wonderful ! Touching !
And we boast about humans being sooo good and exceptional ! Listen how they talk to/about the photographer.
It always makes me shudder thinking how Man has treated - and still treats - whales ! |

| I saw this on another site and I could hardly believe it! Two animals that have such different habits and interactions and one adopts another! Great story and video, thanks for sharing. |
