Close Encounters With Whale Tails - People vs. Whales

girl slapped in the face with a whale tail
Being slapped in the face by a whale tail or flipper is more common than one might think! This first video is mine and entails a near miss that my wife had. We were on a whale watching tour on Mexico's Baja Peninsula. The close proximity and shelter of the lagoons where the whales are found means that tours can use small "Skiffs" that only hold about 10 people. Whales have been accustomed over the years to come right up to the boats. This can be quite scary at times when you have an animal swimming around that is much larger and heavier than the boat you are in!
