A young playful calf taking a closer look.
In their first days, whales are very eager to discover their surroundings and the creatures around!
Their behavior will entirely depend on the level of trust their mothers have in you.
They will put themselves between you and their calves or just leave… unless you manage to build that trust.
Trust was built on that day as this calf’s mother was resting below, allowing us to share that moment a meter away from each other.
