Meet Captain Dave, a ship captain who runs a whale watching safari year round. For the first time ever, the rare, majestic and endangered blue whales ended up in Dana Point, California. Luckily Captain Dave had his drone camera ready and captured the first drone footage of blue whales in this area. One of the blue whales he filmed, is believed to be over 80 feet long.
He also capture incredible video of a gray whale mama and her babies playing and eating kelp off the shore of Orange County. Captain Dave explains how rare it is to capture to gray whale calves. He explains that 35 percent of blue whale babies are eaten by Orca whales. So their mothers intentionally keep them close at all times.
There is not much for these babies to eat during their migrations, so they mainly feed on their mother’s milk and grow at about 50 pounds per day. The final thing he captured was a giant megapod of thousands of dolphins swimming side by side. This is truly a site to behold.
They swam right beside the boat and gave these whale watchers a truly unforgettable experience. This footage is absolutely breathtaking. Mother Nature never ceases to amaze. What a wonderful planet we all live on! Enjoy!
