VIDEO: People keep getting in the way of humpback whales
Here is not one but two videos of people having close encounters with humpback whales.
In the first, a guy on a jetski collides with a humpback off the coast of Iceland. The whale did surface out of nowhere so we can't really blame him.
Plus, we imagine for a humpback, a jetski is the equivalent of a mosquito - annoying but doing no real harm.
And Cimeron Morrisey posted this video of her almost getting high-fived in the face by a humpback whale's tale while she was out kayaking in Monterey Bay in California.
Cimeron posted that the whale was the size of a bus and swam right up to her:
"Humpbacks are graceful and fully aware of their size and of their surroundings, so I wasn't scared (at first) but I was certainly shocked that he chose to swim right up to me."
"Then his enormous barnacle-encrusted tail came out of the water and was about 12 inches from my face, which pretty much made my eyes pop out of my head. So pardon my swearing in the video - I was rather stunned!," she writes.
We understand. We would have done quite a bit of swearing as well, if we were in that situation.
