    We have to save the Blues. I'm no activist, but as far as we know, this is the heaviest creature to ever inhabit our planet. Special interest is needed here.

      would be nice if a video could be done on the fact more white people die every year then are born... 30 to 40 short years and we are minorities in every country we live in... 200 years after that and we are near extinction...
      some may remember the good we did and inventions we brought into the world, but ALL will remember and praise the day we died out and their problems were supposed to end that day, but they soon after realized they were their own problems.
      but there will never be a video so beautiful made about that... just more hate

    Magnificent creatures. I agree with what he said towards the end. People are usually so arrogant and self-centered, and think they're the best creatures on the planet. But you don't realize how small you actually are until you face a whale. This could be taken both literally and metaphorically.

    • @ArnoldSig
      @ArnoldSig 7 років тому +31

      Vlad Sicoe Even if we were "the best" creature by some measure it doesn't mean we shouldn't care about the less "great" creatures. In my opinion human is the greatest masterpiece of evolution on our planet. Look what we have accomplished.
      But at the same time it definitely doesn't mean we are the only magnicient species on the planet or that we would have right to abuse all the other creatures. I more like to think that us being so intelligent and capable of changing things, we have a great responsibility to look after all the other amazing life forms on our planet, to do our best to live in harmony with them.
      We are conscious enough to think about such things. Dinosaurs weren't smart enough to feel empathy to other species such as small mammals of the time, but we are. Lets make a good use of our intelligence.

    "Filmed on location in Mexico." Just to clarify, this was not filmed in Mexico. It was filmed in shallow waters just off the coast of Oceanside/San Onofre, CA. I know this because I was the captain of the Lois Ann for this multi-day charter and I just want SoCal to get her props. While we did skirt the boarder of MX on the first day. I ultimately found these beautiful critters some 40 or 50 miles north of the boarder on day 2. To our great pleasure, the Blue whales were feeding with Fin-back whales and stayed in this area for the next 3 or 4 days feeding on the ample Krill in those waters at the time. Weather and water conditions remained spectacular, we were quite lucky. I have to admit, this was one of the best charters I've ever run. The Gopro team was just that, "Professional" and always "Goin". My congrats to Brad and his team for getting "The Shot", well done boys and girl! And clearly, Louie is a terrific film maker. I am really glad to have been part of this project and hope ya'll take a minute to see "Racing Extinction" if you get a chance.

    Just this entire team seems very connected and have made clear their mission. No matter how old this video is, It has given me a sense of what passion and a sense of belonging really means. I want to thank this team for this awesome and self-uplifting video.

    There's something about seeing something so massive and beautiful that is so awe-inspiring. Maybe it's when we compare ourselves to what's out there, we feel so small and insignificant. Or maybe it's looking into the depths and wondering what's beyond. This is what we live for. Keep discovering and pioneering. Stay epic.

I have heard that in some countries they will bring a lot of tourists to see whales and not safely for the animals or even the tourists. So unprofessional and harming. So better to leave them alone than chasing them for an "experience". Many people mean well but doesn't really understand what they are doing, it really doesn't make it ok though.

    Wow. When I was in the 6th grade, I did a report on the Blue Whale. What I learned then was so incredible, that it changed my perspective forever. Being able to see these amazing creatures to scale on video is a dream come true. Thank goodness that conservation, environmental science, and wildlife protection are so important to Generations Y and Z, that university degrees in these subjects have become some of the most popular of any. We are successfully teaching the Baby Boomer and X Generations that the choices of individual people truly matter. There absolutely is hope. Look at videos showing how polluted Los Angeles was before environmental protections were implemented. In nearly every major city, one could barely see in front of one's face while outside. The streets, waterways, parks, and highways were absolutely littered with trash. Even in the 90s when I was a kid, I remember how much litter there was along the freeways and in the gutters around Portland, Oregon. Now, it's rare to see ANY trash in these same areas, and people of all generations are speaking up when someone tries to litter or dump illegal waste in the woods. It's not too late for the people and animals of the world, as we work to create safe habitats and road/waterway crossings for endangered species, and conservation jobs for underprivileged communities. We can do this. We already are.

      @dethwisper 4 роки тому +16

      Well, it would be near impossible for anything to be bigger. Blue whales are at their biomechanical and physiological limit. The amount of energy it takes for a blue whale, or something larger, to move or breathe, or eat, or pump blood throughout it's body is on the extreme side of large. There would need to be some kind of limitless energy supply to power a creature that large. Plus, the blue whales heart rate is pretty much at it's maximum even when it isn't doing much. It takes an extreme amount of force and pressure to pump blood through a creature that size. It's highly unlikely that anything could possibly be larger. Not impossible, but next to impossible.

      @@apvideos4727 Well the square cube law dictates how large something can get. Basically, if something doubles in size and keeps the same shape, the weight of it will increase by a factor of 3. Eventually something will get so large that it is crushed by its own weight. Blue whales live in water so that is why they can live while being so huge. On land it would be crushed by its own weight. This is why something like Godzilla could never exist.
      But if you wanna talk biblical stuff, well God can do whatever he wants, so sure, why not Titans.
