I have always been amazed by the intelligence of these creatures. Does it come to the boat to scratch the barnacles off it's head? To investigate these strange yet familiar creatures? Or just to play? Maybe all three and more. We often speak about how smart cetaceans are, how quickly they learn when we decide to teach them. I'm not a green peacer, Peta or the like but it strikes me that perhaps we should try and learn from them. Because they are far more compassionate and forgiving they we are. Maybe this is there way of patiently saying "c'mon I know you can do it, I believe in you. See! Your getting there!" Just a thought..

Those are all great questions.. I think they can even identify our behavior by the tones the kids were calling out. For instance, when they were excited to see the whale, they all yelled out with high pitch and that whale came over asap because they new some good scratching was going on...

After all man has done to these wonderful whales, they are now beginning to show us trust in us. I hope man doesn't ruin that trust. We can learn so much from them.

They love it, when humans scream and laugh XD

All that screaming and “oh my gahd”…”oh my gahd”…must be a nightmare being married to someone like that.

I love grey whales they are beautiful creatures

I really think I am in love with whales now.

How awesome is that? To meet a whale! It's going to be a highlight of their lives. I wonder if they wantedd the folks to rub it's tongue. Orcas and dolfins seem to like having their tongues rubbed. I would be worried they would grab hold. I know it was exciting, but I wish the two ladies had not screamed like banshees at the poor creature. Their hearing is very sensitive. I'm surprised the racket didn't scare the whales off. A little self-restraint would have been difficult, but a good idea.

It's enjoying a scratch. Those barnacles are probably itchy for it. You can see it rubbing it's face on the hull of the boat and seems to enjoy being rubbed. You can see it's eye closing at it scratches. Think about it there likely aren't many things it can go and scratch itself on every day. It reminds me of a cow trying to itch itself on a post or cow brush. Beautiful.

I can feel those emotions 😅

Arrrgh, the screaming ...

I think the whale had two kind requests: 1. Please can you get rid of these annoying barnacles for me? Unfortunately I cannot by myself. It seems that it was also scratching on the boat. 2. If you don’t mind do you have also something to eat for me? Me hungry 😂 I love whales. They are incredibly smart and good giant.

Magnificent creatures. We should live in harmony with the nature. Technically, a human species is a herbivoire and the occasional predator(though we've pushed the "occasional" through the roof). Animals don't have the records or written history, all they have is a an instinct or what their parents have taught them. That is, if something is not trying to kill them outright - they get curious. And while it might be nice on the tourist trip it might end up badly when they stumble upon the whale hunters(though I am not sure if that is still practiced). I always thought of it that way - I won't hunt more than I have to, then again a wolf doesn't concern itself with preserving the wildlife. Then again, we are smarter and better organised. Humankind is a a very big pack of wolves. But, we can undestand the damage we are causing to the wildlife and thus we can act different. It's a big loop of if's and why's but there are moments like those that makes us wonder if domination is a path to follow. Then again there were moments (mostly in the past) with people being hunted by the local wildlife. In conclusion - being a human is a blessing and a curse.

Greg E The whales get 2 things...the barnacles help defend their “softer” parts from bites and wounds when being attacked from sharks or Orcas (pretty much the only 2 natural predators these brings have) as well as helping the males when fighting during mating season. Having the barnacles up by the face and on top of the head kind of serves the same purpose as rhino horns...tusks etc on other male animals.

This is incredible. I'd most likely throw up, but still think it's awesome!

Its horable to think that their hunted by slant eyed 2 leged preditors and eskomos hunt a few per year but it a tordition and the hunt them in ceromony

Ah man I bet this was incredible but I wish people would not touch them the whale will belive all boats are friendly and they are not .
