Host Says You Won’t See Any Whales Today As One Pops Up Behind Him
By Karina Nowysz, Daily Buzz
Blue whales are magnificent creatures, but who knew they had great comic timing as well?
Zoologist Mark Carwardine was filming an upcoming segment for the BBC nature series Big Blue Live in the Gulf of California, one of the world’s hot spots for whale watching. After looking for blue whales all day with no luck he begins to explain blue whales can be tough to track, giving all sorts of reasons why these marine animals are so elusive.
“It just makes it so challenging,” he goes on to say in the clip. “It’s quite exciting in one way and frustrating in another.”
“You know they’re here but just jolly well can’t find them.”

Cue the blue whale’s entrance.
Just as Carwardine utters the final sentence, he turns around and a spray of water shoots from the sea, just a few feet away from the boat.
Laughing, Carwardine points to the whale and says: “Oh look. There is one. Actually that was a lot easier than I was expecting.”
The cameraman is heard laughing in the background, saying: “You could not have made that happen.”
As the video ends, the crew on board the boat are still laughing while the whale is seen swimming along the surface of the water.
Give that whale a TV show!
