You're gonna need a bigger boat.

Whales are generally not dangerous to us humans. However, animal patience does have its limits, and a certain amount of consideration should be shown for their comfort-zone. Otherwise, things like this might happen.

Dan Lebatard had the blonde haired kid on his show yesterday. He acted a lot calmer and cooler than I probably would have.

That kid's got charisma. He's going to go places.

Someone online said whales are territorial and this whale didn’t like the idea of this boat moving into his neighborhood.

Don't piss off a whale.

On some level, some these intelligent animals might be gradually realizing that humans are responsible for the degradation of their oceanic environment and might be feeling resentment. Such a capability is not that far-fetched. For example, Regular Whales and Orcas have displayed a keen awareness of the human ability to render them assistance in emergencies.

Yeah saw this on the news. If you'll pardon the pun...that was WILD!!!
@Radrook After seeing several news reports of wild animals showing up in unusual and unlikely places, I've been saying for quite awhile now...the animals are taking their planet back.

Yes, clumsiness is definitely another possibility. However, anger based on frustration cannot be counted out. For example, Orcas forced to perform tricks in captivity have have repeatedly expressed resentment towards their human captors by attacking them. Others in the wild are now attacking boats.

I'm fascinated by whale siting's. We were fortunate enough to view some early arrivals of a pod off the coast of Hawaii, the big island. We stopped our boat as required, and watched the show for about 30 minutes. They move south from the waters around Alaska to the warmer island waters to birth new calves and breed. They demonstrated their freedom in a great show.
