This aerial footage shows a humpback whale and their mother from a new angle as they glide through the ocean toward a boat. The baby, which is already huge, and their mom slowly swim toward the boat. Their massive size is apparent as the boat looks tiny in comparison.

Whales teach us about love and family, and it’s up to us to make sure they stick around. Let’s do our part to protect these incredible animals and the beautiful waters they call home!
