@abc7chicago: A whale stunned a group of watchers aboard a marine observation vessel, when it breached high above the water off the coast of Quebec. Footage here captured by Elina Parent in the St Lawrence River, off the coast of Tadoussac, shows the massive mammal launching itself out of the water, to the exclaim of onlookers. Whale watchers are heard cheering and gasping as the animal made an enormous splashdown into the water. Parent called the moment her “most beautiful memory from Canada”, in an Instagram post which garnered over 115,000 likes as of the time of writing.
I actually don’t mind the cheers and excitement. I’m sure the whales hear the human sounds and know it sounds positive. Lol i like to think anyway.

Quebec I’ll pass, I’m surprised the whale didn’t get fined for not jumping in French.

What happens if a whale tries to jump up but they’re under your boat? I’ve always been scared of that 😭

tout le monde pensent que les baleines font ca pour jouer (entre autre, probablement). Mais cest aussi une façon de se gratter et de se débarrasser de parasites et bernacles. Au moment du contact avec l'eau, la force de l'impact les apaisent et délogent quelques indésirables

what a bait "onlookers gasping for air". yall made it sound like the whales breached on the onlookers. Couldn't say left "leaves the onlookers breathless" or "stunned" or "in awe"

It would be so much better if humans could sit and watch nature in silence and experience the beauty without all the howling and screaming
