Humpback Whale Swims Right At Her and Pins Her Down – Then She Notices Something

A Swim Like Any Other

So, one day, Nan was swimming off the shore of Rarotonga one day in September 2017. Right nearby there was a research vessel with some of her colleagues who were tracking her course. She had her underwater camera with her.

While she was swimming Nan saw a male humpback whale. He was really big, weighing upwards of 23 tons. He was 50 feet long and a very large adult humpback whale. The strange thing was his behavior was very unusual and he was coming straight for her.
