Check Out This Video Of A Grey Whale Swimming Right Next To A Group Of Unsuspecting People
Mark Girardeau is a prolific videographer of wildlife and in his latest video he was waiting for the exact moment when swimmers at a beach would freak out when they realised that a whale was swimming right next to them! Using a drone to capture the video, he filmed the whale cruising into the shallows right next to snorkelers and a woman lying on an alligator raft hanging out in the crystal-clear blue water near Treasure Island beach in Laguna California.
Despite their proximity to the whale, the swimmers did not flinch as the whale moved past them and then turned around and headed out to sea again. Mr Girardeau who lives in Huntington Beach was out for the day to document the markings of a grey whale which had created a big buzz earlier in the day when it appeared in the Dana Point Harbour. He had no idea the video would go viral and as of August 11th the video has generated 1.3 million views. Check out the video, it’s truly fascinating.
