I swam with humpback whales in Amami Oshima with my friends 🐋 I was told that the baby whale was 5 meters long and on the smaller side, but seeing it up close in the water, it was surprisingly large. The mother whale was an incredible 16 meters long, so big that I wondered if it was okay to be this close 😳 Such an experience is rare, and my heart was racing the whole time in the water. It's alive!!!!!
