Life Threatening
Hauser finally understood what the humpback was trying to do to her! Sure, she was thrashed around, nudged constantly to the surface, and tucked into its fin— but only because it knew that a tiger shark was nearby! She did hear that these large sea creatures are well-known for protecting animals like porpoises and seals from predators. However, she had never heard of any human being the recipient of the giant’s altruistic behavior before she experienced it firsthand.

Gentle Giant
Humpback whales are known as the “gentle giants” of the marine world. The word ‘giant’ is indeed fitting for this sea mammal. After all, they can reach up to 60 feet in terms of length and 40 tons when it comes to weight. These whales primarily feed on a diet of small marine creatures as well as planktons. Their species used to be one of the most highly endangered animals in the world! Luckily, the conservation efforts of many concerned groups have led to a significant increase in the population of the species.
