This Diver Is SHOCKED After What A Giant Whale Did To Her

despite having an enormous size whales are one of the most mysterious yet gentle creatures living on Earth their unique traits and Strange Behaviors attract humans despite knowing these creatures biologists remain Vigilant about these Giants Cook Islands located in South Pacific has a lot of encounters with these marine mammals these gentle Giants have sent shock waves throughout the community of marine biologists because they seem to be smarter than what we give them credit for there are still things that we need to learn about these gentle Giants nanhauser is a 63 year old marine biologist she dedicated her life to studying whales and helping them she was born in Maine near the borders of Canada for the past three decades Nan has kept documenting as many whales as possible fighting for their rights and their safety according to Nan one of the rewards of being a marine biologist is getting to swim with whales on an everyday basis swimming with something she greatly protects and loves she was quite used to swimming together with these gentle Giants but one faithful encounter might change her perspective forever before we continue please take some time to subscribe to dailydose like and share this video with your friends Nan was swimming off on her usual routine on the shores of rotonga together with some colleagues in a boat they kept track of Nan using a drone while Nan was swimming with a small pot of humpback whales little did she know something unusual would happen using a waterproof camera Nan kept capturing images of the humpback whales when suddenly a huge male humpback whale weighing over 23 tons and measuring at least a whopping 50 feet started plunging towards the marine biologist she then knew that his behavior wasn't normal at all Nan knew every whale's Behavior except this one usually when swimming with whales Nan would be the one approaching the whales to document their behavior this time something strange is happening as the gentle animal is rushing towards her trying to remain calm she still focused her lenses on the huge humpback whale documenting this weird Behavior head on she was still figuring out why the whale was acting strangely although she wasn't concerned at all no one is more experienced in swimming with whales than Nan it's her work and she's probably done more Dives than other scientists as a marine biologist and conservationist her achievements are enough to be recognized as an extraordinary expert when the whale was rushing towards her she knew by then that she was in big trouble whales usually ignore humans but this one specifically was eyeing the marine biologist and was just going straight for her the whale then rammed Nan and pinned her to the surface Nan tries to get away from the Beast approaching but she can't seem to get away and instead gets pushed farther away from the boat and her colleagues she even tried to swim to the other side of the whale but the huge mammal wouldn't let her Nan was so helpless at the situation despite having a lot of experience swimming with these huge animals this is the first time she's experienced this type of behavior from the animal the animal is so huge that just a little bit of movement might cause the marine biologist Serious injury as you already heard Nan is an expert in Marine Wildlife especially whales being in that situation pushed her thoughts to think that a small movement from the animal would cause a lot of damage to her body just a little bump from the humpback whale can break her bones the ginormous animal kept pushing her and essentially making her feel nervous as she was dragged away from her boat helpless she kept thinking why the whale was doing all of this strange Behavior but still there was another thing the whale could do that made Nan feel scared since Nan was an expert she kept her cool the whole time she then devised a plan that could probably save her she decided to stay close to the whale's head since it was probably the safest area she could be in knowing that humpback whales don't have teeth but rather have sheets of softballing inside their mouths still she wanted to be away from the whale as much as possible Nan had to stay very calm Nan thought that if the whale noticed her behavior change the whale might do the same thing bringing more risk and Nan wasn't willing to take that risk let's talk about Nan Nan isn't afraid of the vast ocean instead she is more afraid of spiders she also stated that she is terrified of small animals that could crawl towards her hand but still being in this situation Nan is terrified as Nan was trying to keep calm she kept thinking that despite having experience with whales why was this happening to her everything that is happening to her shouldn't be happening in the first place as this Behavior wasn't in the books she then questioned herself that maybe her colleagues would know what was wrong despite being in that horrifying situation Nan keeps recording everything that is happening while trying to escape she took some photos and then a thought struck her as she might be recording her death isn't it quite terrifying back at the boat Nan's colleagues were worried while following Nan using a drone they could tell that something was wrong but could do nothing and remain helpless all they could do was watch and hope nothing happened to her when you go diving it's always a general rule to have a buddy swimmer with you so Nan wasn't the only one who was in the water her diving buddy however wasn't as experienced as her and didn't understand the situation at all even if her buddy knew what was happening her buddy couldn't help her at all despite being pushed around by the large mammal Nan keeps recording and tries to communicate with her buddy but all of the movement doesn't let her communicate for assistance at all so her buddy was just watching her helplessly as she was pushed farther away from the boat the humpback whale showed no signs of stopping and continued to push her away the boat was already a little bit far away from her and soon Nan found herself in the middle of the vast ocean together with a 50-ton male humpback whale this Behavior was so unusual that there were no records of this happening in the past do you think nothing could get worse than this seems like Nan and the whales had another company another large Shadow appeared in the distance just a little bit off in the distance Nan spotted another moving Shadow a second humpback whale or even those large gentle Giants are social animals so seeing another one isn't surprising at all but this one isn't quite the same as the one who pushed Nan this was very unusual seeing the other whale Nan tried to understand the situation still Nan couldn't understand it at all she could tell that this was an extremely rare situation that she was in one where simply no one could understand even for an expert such as herself as Nan was observing the weird behavior of the whales Nan noticed that the second whale was also displaying such odd behavior the second whale kept smacking the surface of the water with its tail as if it were trying to hit someone behind it confused Nan couldn't think about the strange Behavior she was witnessing despite being an experienced marine biologist the other one was pushing her away while the other one just kept slapping the surface of the water nobody knew what was going on being bumped and dragged away from the boat Nan was getting a little bit bruised from the whole experience the whale had already pushed her for more than 10 minutes and the sharp Barnacles that were attached to the whale kept scraping her body whenever the massive mammal touched her still the intentions of the two humpback whales weren't clear at all whether the whales meant her harm or not she still was taking some bruises from all of the dragging and pushing she was getting from the whale but something finally changed when Nan noticed what was happening after an hour the whale kept dragging Nan to him as close as he could as she was figuring it out she finally understood the reason behind this strange Behavior it was beginning to Dawn on her that for the past hour or so she was in a terrible situation not because of the whales though she wanted to get away as fast as possible to survive this terrifying experience but the whale wasn't gonna let her go that easily it kept dragging her away she still struggled to get away and was trying to find a Gap to swim away just a little bit off in the distance where the second whale was slapping the surface she finally saw something more dangerous than the whales a massive tiger shark these brutal predators are also known to harm humans they are massive and can grow more than 15 feet in length Nan then realized that the whales meant no harm at all the whales were trying to protect her from one of the most dangerous predators in the ocean but still the behavior of the whale doesn't guarantee her safety she's in grave danger great white sharks are the common sharks that people are aware of and are scared of no thanks to Hollywood making them out to be man-eating machines despite being larger and stronger than tiger shark's great white shark attacks are rare and more manageable great white sharks normally take one bite and leave their prey tiger sharks however are known to attack ruthlessly without stopping knowing what was happening Nan decided to push as hard as she could for her to build momentum and tried to rush to the boat Nan and her diver successfully escaped the terrible situation they were in Nan pulled herself and got on the boat exhausted and a little bit relieved she told her colleagues that a large tiger shark was lurking in the waters beneath them as Nan calmed down a bit she was far from terrified she was relieved and was amazed that the whales weren't trying to hurt her but instead tried to protect her from a dangerous predator as she was watching the waters she saw something extraordinary as Nan finally rested for a bit she walked to the ship's railing the male humpback was waiting patiently as if trying to check if she was already safe and away from the waters seems like the huge gentle giant was just concerned for her and making sure Nan was safe before leaving and Diving back into the sea when the whale knew that Nan was safe it let out a burst of water from its blowhole and proceeded to swim away Nan Knew by then that the whale truly protected her and was only trying to keep her safe Nan watched her Oceanic friends swim off in the distance and still felt amused by the experience that she witnessed Nan then reviewed all of the recorded footage she documented her buddy's documentary and the drones documentary as well she finally understood the weird behavior of the whales Nan concluded her hypothesis that the whale was trying to protect her from the massive tiger shark all of this made sense considering she's an expert in whale behaviors but that was the first time she ever experienced that kind of behavior and she was quite fascinated that she experienced it face on Wales acting this way is quite exhilarating humpback whales are still a little bit mysterious to us humans but still they are well documented considering Nan had a huge understanding of these large mammals she's still trying to study more about her terrifying experience back in 2016 over 115 documented cases were compiled about the behavior of whales working and saving their calves also whales are known to shelter or save other marine animals from predators including dolphins and sea lions although Nan's case was different from all of this marine biologists are familiar already with humpback whales helping other species in dangerous situations for instance Robert Pittman a marine ecologist witnessed a humpback whale projecting a seal out of the just to save it from a pot of killer whales however Nan's experience was special although whales are known to help other animals helping humans was new and maybe Nan's case was the first one ever documented although some members of the scientific Community were astonished while some weren't after everyone in the community heard Nan's extraordinary Story the community was torn half of them believed in Nan's hypothesis about the unusual whale Behavior and the other half didn't believe Nan's hypothesis and thought that it was impossible that the humpback's intentions were true at all some even thought that the whale could be acting strange for a different reason and the shark's appearance in the water could have been unrelated to the situation at all however Nan was determined about her hypothesis on her life-changing experience the entire incident was caught on camera from Nan's view to Nan's buddy in the drone's footage every angle was documented even though some won't believe Nan's hypothesis of her experience she still believes that the humpback whales tried to save her Nan believes that this unusual behavior is called animal altruism humpback whales are compassionate and empathetic Nan carefully used the word altruistic hence the documentary proved what she believed from the start according to Marine ecologist Robert pitmas several factors differentiate between being compassionate and and being altruistic when humans protect an animal from danger this one can be called compassion altruism on the other hand has several explanations it is possible that the humpback whale tried to protect Nan due to compassion but it is also possible that the whale saw Nan as an offspring and tried to protect Nan from possible danger although it's really hard to say you can't deny that the whales just wanted to keep her safe whether they saw her as a human or mistook her for an offspring at the end of the day it's a story only Nan will live to tell lucky her thank you
