The calf swimming very close to the mom all the time, very playful. Every now and then, the female humpback gentle pushes the calf above the water for him/her to take a breath.
Thank you Kim! So many heartless people killed animals for profit. Killing elephant is an ugly sight. Took the tucks and left the smashed head and the body. Killing the whales, cut the fins and throw the body back to the ocean to die… I’m so sad. All these affect the environment and eventually affect what we breathe and what we eat.
I’m not an animal right activist, but I don’t eat shark fin soup or bird nest soup. I don’t buy animal fur jacket or crocodile skin products! I don’t buy ivory products either, even though Chinese are so skillful in making the intrigue multiple layers products. I watch too many nature videos.
