Looking in the eye of a Humpback Whale


I have been one of the blessed few that has gotten to look into the eye of a whale. There is an ancient wisdom in their eyes that seems to be as old as the earth itself. The massive power of their tails is beyond comprehension. These animals weigh forty tons and are forty feet long. Even with this great mass they can propel them selves or (breach) totally out of the water. Imagine these large brained animals with a massive muscle strength being some of the largest creatures to have ever been on earth. Having been on a couple of research projects filming the whales, I've gotten to where I think they could hear the pounding of my heart.
