What was amazing that, despite the whale's size, it only "gently" pushed him.

wow,
despite the recent surge in whales off the coast, what are the chances of that happening, let alone having a camera rigged up to capture it ???

Fin = SHARK!!!!


Fin = dolphin for me, fin + tail = shark. Always a surprise when I see fin first, think it's dolphin, check for tail and revise assessment to shark.
