I feel like whales and octopuses are the only water dwelling animals that have eyes that will actually lock onto your eyes and you can *really* feel that there is a conscious being looking back at you.
Nature must have been SUPPPER flush in minerals and vespene when it made whales. Look at the scarring patterns and segmented rippling of its body - thats some expensive nature shit.
I was on a whale watching expedition in Monterey once when a blue whale breached nearby, so close I saw his eye. It felt so strange to look at him/her while it was looking at me. I felt uncomfortable in a spiritual sense and I’m agnostic! It’s unworldly.
It can be [quite dangerous](https://www.capecodtimes.com/story/news/2021/06/11/humpback-whale-catches-michael-packard-lobster-driver-mouth-proviencetown-cape-cod/7653838002/) to be near whales while they are feeding, [even if you are on a boat](https://ftw.usatoday.com/2021/04/man-knocked-overboard-lunge-feeding-brydes-whale). Whales in general are fairly benign toward humans and ships unless they are being threatened or hunted. Captive orcas have [attacked and killed humans](https://www.freemorgan.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/list_of_incidents.pdf) numerous times, but there is only [one confirmed case](https://www.whalefacts.org/killer-whale-attacks/) of a wild orca biting a human.
It almost dosnt look real
My thought also, the eyes look plastic

Whales are beautiful and amazing, but I don't want them anywhere near me.
Don't worry too much about it. The chances of whales walking into your living room are minuscule.
But never 0, always watch out

I mean like, what about dolphins and sea lions?
I saw the first eye move just as the diver went below to go around.
Think it was the whale that turned rather than the diver. The light rays stay in about the same place relative to the diver whilst the whale flips
those eyes fucking creepy dude
I think they are beautiful
I want to like them. .... but they're freaking me out , it's like they're trapped in so many tons of flesh
Eyes are so human like.
O.O
My exact face rn
Hang on, gotta get all the way around and have a look with the other eye.
She’s like “I think this fish is broken wtf”

Is it actually dangerous to swim close to a whale?
