I went on a whale-watching cruise last winter, and we were lucky enough that one of the humpbacks came very close to our ship and even went under it close enough to the surface that we could see it clearly. Obviously the crowd of non-scientist tourists who were expecting to just see some flukes and fins off in the distance were oohing and aahing like crazy. It was really thrilling and exciting. So it's heartwarming and hilarious and wonderful to hear exactly the same reactions out of the marine scientists watching this video feed showing this highly curious sperm whale. It's worth watching just to get that buzz of joy.
