Scary Moment

Whale are huge animals and to be face to face with them would definitely give most of us a big scare. If we have never seen a whale before, imagine being underwater and an animal that is bigger than an elephant comes right towards you. How would that feel? ‘Intimidating’ would not even begin to explain how terrifying this would feel. So like other whales, this leviathan, would weigh about 25 tons and be as long as an incredible 50 feet. It started to roll Hauser around with his enormous frame. With most of her encounters with whales Hauser says she is never too scared of whales. However, this was a different case and she did have fear running through her blood when this happened. It was a haunting case where she felt trapped. This came as a shock to Nan because she had been working with whales for so long and nothing like this had ever happened. She said that in all her years of studying all these different types of whales, there had never been a whale that was acting like this one she met that day. She even explained the whale and said he was “putting me on his head, or belly, or back, or, most of all, trying to tuck me under his huge pectoral fin.” Imagine getting all these physical cues from a whale, most of us would probably die or pass out dues to extreme fear. Even for a whale expert like her, this experience was a very scary one that did not give her a good feeling at all. But why would it act like that?
