Mother Whale Agitated and Warns Surfers With Her Tail

What is it about touching things that folks don’t understand.

A few surfers somehow managed to agitate an adult female southern right whale she and her calf were enjoying the surf. This happened near a popular Sydney beach after a free diver reached out in an attempt to touch the young calf.

As chance would have it, Dominique Taylor was able to capture incredible drone video of what happened.

A few things come to mind. First the No-touch rule and maintaining a safe distance. These mammals are huge and one would think that common sense would kick in at some point.

I guess you can say they were lucky that the whale wasn’t having a bad day 🙂

A more recent version of the video indicates that two women were injured, one having to be flown to hospital with fractured ribs, the other with a torn hamstring
