A friendly grey whale calf approached a boat so one of its passengers could pet it.
While Christian Miller was on a ‘Snotbot’ expedition in San Ignacio Lagoon, Mexico, on May 20, an inquisitive whale came to say hello.
With its mum by her side, the baby giant shot her huge head above the water and, chin first, approached the boat.
Obviously unperturbed by the incoming vessel, the mum let both Christian and one of his colleagues stroke the underside of her baby.

Apparently animals are informed of the petting issue we have.. "must pet"
Other side of the coin is that we have such very superb gifts to comfort all creatures and they understand it with gratitude. I was raised on a small farm, learned that most all creatures were "hands on" for the betterment of both.
@@whalesong999 Not trying to be mean here but this is a projection of what our image of petting is. Do we really know what's in an animals mind? Called anthropomorphism and it's interesting behavior in humans.
@@1011-s7d To me, over the years, it's been an ongoing learning, both from wild creatures and domesticated ones. I have no concrete opinion, just go by what I sense on an individual basis. Putting our words to it is often spoiling something that really can't be simply explained. I feel an itch, I know the relief that comes from a good scratch - don't have to run to anthropomorphism to understand that an itch is pretty much the same with them. Given to precise examples, I've given baths to rid wild opossums of lice and fleas followed by worming them for internal parasites - the feedback from them showed ecstatic relief after a few hours to calm down and sense the situation. Whatever it is, I don't have to give it some scientifically approved word name to know we both benefited from an event only we can carry out with our fellow living beings here. I worked as a ranger at a drive-through exotic animal park and watched how the workers related to caring for the captive animal inhabitants and the reactions back. It adds up over time to form a moving sense, not some absolute construct. Edit: In the old testament, we are referred to as custodians of the earth. Perhaps it's part of that which guides us when we don't stop at only being charmed by the willing behavior of any other animal. If this is just about our trait to "pet", it must be partly the fulfillment of our senses, like a child first experiencing the world by putting things in the mouth. It perhaps just fans out from there but purpose is in there to not be stolen by rationalizing to take it away when one really doesn't know any better.

Every time I see a human pet an animal I feel like the world is a little bit better. Thats our super power as humans. Giving love.
Yes, giving love....put some old oil and plastic garbage into ocean. Much love!💖
@@Odin355 🙄 come on man, if you have nothing good to say, don't say anything. Obviously trash is trash and shouldn't be in the ocean, I'm not the one who put it there. When I find trash outside I pick it up and throw it into cans and I cut all the hoops in those beer can holder things made of plastic so no animal gets strangled by them because I find them allllllllll over the place outside and no one bothers to do that before throwing them on the GROUND instead of a garbage can. It's not my fault that our trash organization & disposal & recycling system is trash, I've been arguing about making it better ever since I've been alive and y'all out here being an asshole for no reason instead of tryna be innovative.

I like to think we have our intelligence for a reason (a selfless reason)
we are a part of the ecosystem, and every creature has it's part to play.
We have ours too. We are in a very unique position where we literally have the ability to "fix" problems in the ecosystem, or fill in the gaps.
Perhaps that's one reason why physically speaking we are quite flimsy, otherwise we would probably be way too dangerous.
He actually asked you to stop dumping garbage in his ocean.
Nice

@aboJzar judging by their reply. They’re not.
Whale: hey human, Scratch off those dirty barnacles on me.
Human: ahw, the whale is asking me to pet
THANK YOU! That's what that means.....
Amazing, that’s the right thing that show how we treat wild animal. Human and wildlife should live in peace like that.
Yes, but just try petting a hungry tiger!
I love to go out on trips to watch the majestic mosquito. West nile is just the mosquito version of a kiss.
Don't spout platitudes dude. This particular animal happens to think we are cute (similar to how elephants view people). Most of nature wants to eat you or your stuff.
Whale is a wind animal? More like a water animal.
@@123TauruZ321 I think he meant wild
Thats true, also we should stop eating animals in general. That's just cruelty and harms the planet.
Whale: just relaxing

Yep, whale was just taking in some rays.
whale: please stop poisoning our oceans.
Human: *boops head*
Whale: well that's nice too :)
So tempting to remove those parasitic things attached on the skin.
They're not actually parasites as they don't damage the whales nor do they suck their blood or anything like that. They are barnacles and itch but don't harm the whales though I'm guessing they probably would like them gone. I once suggested to a marine biologist that someone should install scratching posts where whales can rub against to scrape off the barnacles but he game me some lame reason why it wouldn't be good for the whales. I didn't buy it but I'm not wealthy enough to build one to find out.

@@Knapweed I've seen that video before. If that were me I'd be out there the next day with a garden hoe and a video camera offering to scrape off barnacles in exchange for the world's coolest selfies, whale photobombing welcomed.
The whale even closed his/her eyes when the hand touched its face. Just like a dog. Touch is an amazing comforter.
Yes, her eyes. human touch is ordained by God. Notice how we crave it.
Some big sharks do the same thing when petted. It's so crazy that animals that never, ever get petted in the wild still love it.

This almost brought a tear to my eyes. What a life altering moment.
Yeah, I would love to experience such a moment...
He is just requesting politely not to interfere with their lives and dump garbage in their habitat. And he thinks the whale is asking to be petted.
This is a mystical moment, if it happened to me I would never be the same afterward.
fr, im clearly a mermaid now and i can communicate with the sea 🧜🏽♀️
This is amazing. But I always hate seeing those parasitic barnacles all over them. I wish I could scrap them off.
i wanted to pick them off so badly
Me too, lol
I supposed there must've been presumptuousness that constitutes the wonky clip title here...it's not like there be anything always nearby enough to use to scratch away their parasitic itchings
Agreed. It must suck having those all over your skin.
The whale would probably feel alot better with them off.
Does a barnacle not have the right to live that a whale does?
Imagine if every people is like this, instead of killing these magnificent creatures.
Fortunately most people are. Whaling is illegal in most countries, and even the commercial fishermen whose livelihood is directly impacted by orca and sperm whale "theft" tend to have a grudging respect for cetaceans.
Yes it should be that humans realize that we are not supreme to all other species and start treating all of our furry and wet and scaly etc animals as our brothers and sisters
Imagine if every people was in Utopia.
But that's not what the world is, so don't cry over it.
Hey, it’s a good source of oil and meat.
My issue is over-hunting them. No need to drive them to extinction due to greed.

Awesome. At the end, when the guy started petting him, he closed his eyes.
This Is So Adorable Maybe The Whale Miss Her Parents?.
Look at the wounds on their snout though. Tales of legendary battles with giant squids and maybe some other critters, maybe sharks or other fish. It may look cute and all but it's certainly a warrior.
Sorry to burst your bubble with regards great battles with giant squid, but grey whales diet is 90% small shrimp type creatures and not giant squid. I Think you're thinking of sperm whales...... still a very majestic creature!
That, or he just bonked into a rock
@@filipraos8072 big *bonk*
They are warriors. Ships that carelessly cruise around strike many of these majestic leviathans.
A lot of that is just barnacles and the scars they leave behind.

Yes its saying look at all the damn barnacles on me! Please take them off! Lol seriously that's why they leap out of water to smash them off because it hinders their swimming.
Agree
Yes the whale was trying to say come a little closer I'm hungry 🤣
What a beautiful sight. Once in a lifetime experience.
No, this is not a once and a lifetime experience. A once and a lifetime experience would be if the whale had accidentally swallowed a civil war era mine which didn't explode hours before only to breach the water over the boat triggering the mine to explode and splatter the whale all over the people and surrounding areas around the boat, while sinking the boat. Then as the people keep themselves above water a bunch of great white sharks come to feed in addition to a pod of orca. Both groups arrive at the same time and have a West Side Story singing duel w/ the winner taking the dead whale remains. The result of the singing duel is still up to determination so the humans ate the whale remains instead.
@@maxazzopardi7446 dafuq is wrong with you?

Gray whales are filter feeders. Look at it's mouth.
Sperm whales hunt squid. Both are grey and a sperm whale is much larger than the grey whale
The scars are where it removed the barnacles or they died when it migrated to much colder water

@Logic Police Well, get to know whales 🐋 and you‘ll find out, how intelligent they are. Then think of killing them, when they look at you.....
@Logic Police scroll up to the comment from Gowri Preetha titled "Apparently animals are informed of the petting issue we have.. "must pet"", there's a good discussion there about anthropopmorphising but also that animals intelligent enough do appreciate and have some sense of enjoyment. I find it annoying too but u can't neglect the fat of how many animals do show genuine enjoyment when being around caring humans and/or being pet, even when they're not genetically engineered to like domesticated animals.

The grey whale was simping for the boat, while strategically ignoring the pesky human.
