Yet the stinking Japs and others continue to cruelly kill dozens of these intelligent giants we are only beginning to understand.

the 63-year-old was on a routine dive with other researchers

Not to pi$$ on the parade; but for a 63-year-old woman, no dive in shark-infested waters is routine.

I think the whale was holding her for the shark.

I know people who have gone down to Baja to see the whales in the bays where the whales breed and give birth. The people go out into the bay in small boats (you cannot do that in the USA). The whales love people. They come up right next to the little boats and show off their babies.

Cut and paste issue sometimes a link to another story gets embedded within the text. It happens.

Bull sharks frequent shallow waters where people congregate so human interaction is much more common. They are also known to enter brackish or even freshwater and have been known to go hundreds of miles upriver. Back in the 1920s or 30s one was caught in the Mississippi outside of Cairo, Illinois. Tigers are known man eaters but tend to stay in deeper water. IIRC, tigers figured prominently in the USS Indianapolis attacks.

Yes, the Japanese have their “research vessels” which is a totally false name for “whaling vessels”. They cruelly kill dozens of whales to sate their appetite for whale meat, when they have many other varieties of food from which to choose. They don’t need to have whale meat, and it could be dropped from their traditional foods. There is a world-wide moratorium on killing whales, which Japan illegally violates and has violated since 1987. They call it “scientific research”. Scientific research usually involves the study of an organism. And they do nothing in the way of study. They simply butcher the intelligent and beautiful animal they have just killed by firing a mechanized spear into its body and sell it to willing consumers.

I’m such a huge whale fan. These marine biologists were showing how they communicate with each other with these squeaks and squeals, what a fish!
