Sometimes you watch the whale, and other times, the whale watches you.
Whale-watchers in Argentina recently learned that firsthand when a whale hid under their boat. Fortunately, photographer Justin Hofman was in the water at the time and managed to capture the incredible moment.
(Story continues below.)


In a well-timed photo, a southern right whale swims beneath a whale-watching vessel off the coast of the Valdes Peninsula.According to the photographer, a calf was floating alongside the mother whale at the time.
"Swimming along with a curious right whale calf was nerve-racking [sic]. At any moment I thought 'mom' was eventually going to get annoyed with me and swat me with her 15-foot tail -- and I'd be a goner," Hofman recalled, according to the Daily Mail. "Yet, with every passing minute we felt more comfortable around each other and they became curious about us and would make closer passes."
Hofman, who works as a wildlife photographer, had the permission of Argentine authorities to dive with the whales in the protected lagoons near the Valdes Peninsula.
Southern right whales, native to the Southern Hemisphere, flock to the warm waters off the coast of the peninsula every year to raise their offspring.

When they photoshopped that, they forgot the water spots in the dry view.

I believe this is real tbh. I know someone here is sort of an expert in graph analyzing, like he can find out the exact location of some girl's home in a city he's never been to, by only a picture of her home postered on facebook. But this one ain't fake imho

[Wild Cobra]

How did the relative distances change by about a 2:1 between whale and boat, when both are horizontal to the camera, between these two shots?

I will stick with the fake idea. Besides, the Huff~n~Puff post article gets it's pictures from a tabloid, called The daily Mirror.

It's cool whether fake or real. Gives me such an uneasy feeling despite being a whale

What do you mean despite? A whale is likely to eat you as more as a shark would tear you apart.

Didn't the article say the whale was underage?

[JoeChalupa]

Why is it assumed that the whale was hiding from something?

I don't think you understand how reflections work in and out of water. This Pic is real, there's nothing fake to it..

The whale in the pic is a baleen whale, they don't have teeth, they just eat krill and plankton.

[The Gemini Method]

That's a Right Whale? I don't know...after watching Black Fish...can't trust Tilikum!
