A huge Humpback whale was captured on camera jumping out of the sea and narrowly missing a fishing boat.
From time to time, nature shows itself in full splendor to remind us how small we really are. Recently, a picture was captured in the Californian waters, Monterey Bay, which left viewers with goosebumps.
The footage shows a giant humpback whale shooting out of the water to the sky, and the scene is incredibly amazing.
Luckily, someone was close enough to capture the video of this breath-taking moment, which seemed like a planned action scene in a movie.
So cool!
I’d need to go straight back to the marina to change my shorts.
That was actually Rosie O’Donnell in a bathtub.
Wow ! Some underwear changing necessary I bet.....
Something tells me that whales can tell what's right above them before they make such a leap and aren't likely to smash into it. But still a moment you might need to change your pants after.
OMG That thing is HUGE, I am very surprised it did not capsize that boat!!!
95% of the time, boats are violating maritime law and putting themselves in the path of the breaching whale.
Not enough evidence to say that’s what happened here.
Throw ‘em overboard, clean-up and go guerrilla.
The one that got away
The poor whale jumped out of the water because it's boiling hot because of Man-Made Global WarmingTM
Silly Question #1. Why do the whales do that jump and flip?
Is it just for fun? I know some animals will do things just for the sake of enjoyment, as we humans do.
I’ve seen birds sliding down an ice covered sliding board.
Pacific Insurance shooting another commercial?

Was your fishing boat capsized by a giant jumping whale?
Good News!
That IS covered in our Super-Deluxe insurance policy
under most conditions!
That looks great. Very well done.
The school kids would be hysterical with excitement.
Classes canceled for the rest of the day.
“We’re gonna need a bigger boat!”
While on a whale watching tour in Puget sound we had an orca go under the boat and then surface immediately almost completely out of the water but it was nothing as spectacular as that humpback.
The one that got away.....no seriously, it was a 50,000 pounder....
