Buen intento, loco hombre
esta no es la ballena de este dĂa, esta es la ballena del siglo pasado
pero sigue siendo divertido

And just a reminder that Taiwan has had its very own exploding whale story.
“This is a National Geographic event…”
xD
Sad. Hong Kong kills a whale.
Surely a “whale of the day” thread should have more whales having good days?
Even if the giant squid in its maw is having a less-than-good day. Apparently first video of the [aftermath of] legendary battles we’ve all read about.
Rounder is my whale of the day! A sperm whale mother, as of July 2023, but the research was only just published. Scientists lucked into witnessing a sperm whale birth, which a bunch of whales gathering to take turns holding the baby up for its first few hours, when it can’t yet swim properly.
Links below may or may not be paywalled, but there are presumably other sources out there. Odd how something that looks like an early-stage xenomorph can be so adorable.
If anyone follows German news, you might know that there was a whale rescue operation going on in the Baltic Sea. Experts weren’t hopeful to rescue the giant, but now it is gone. Probably managed to free itself during the night. They tried to help the humpback whale with excavators for days.
