Southern right whales, which can measure about 55 feet and weigh up to 60 tons, were once hunted to the brink of extinction. The present population off Australia numbers about 2,500. The global population is about 12,000.
“Dave Price who was just making his way over to the whales on his stand-up board said they were really inquisitive and came over to meet him. There was one time when the whales lifted their heads up [and] looked up over Pricey’s board. They were so inquisitive and wanted to know what he was.”

A friend of mine lives part time in Maui, and he says when he swims out in the ocean, he can hear the whales talking under the sea. Inquisitive, communicative, and wholly (holy?) intelligent.
Wow. Just amazing…
