Heya ya'll, here's maybe the best photo I am every going to take in my life.

I was out with the Monterey Bay Whale Watch when we got a chance to observe the CA-150 Bigg's Killer Whale pod after a successful sea lion hunt. The pod consists of one adult male named Jimmy, an enormous adult matriarch named Andi, three other female killer whales, and a total of four calves. The pod was totally showboating, celebrating a successful hunt and engaging in a lot of play behavior like spectacular breaching and spy-hopping . At one point a mother/calf pair engaged in some kind of roll/cuddle behavior where the young calf perched on top of his mom and rolled along while their mother pushed them along upside down directly towards the boat. I was in the perfect spot to photograph the sequence and got this once in a lifetime shot.

And this is why I'm always wary of following "influencers" on social media that are getting very close up footage of whales.

Because you reinforce this sort of shitty and disrespectful behaviour by giving it likes and views. And it clearly is not for the benefit of the animals or "raising awareness" when it's hindering important research.
