2 Australian southern right whales decided to hang out with this paddleboarder, and it was amazing.

We don't often get to see ginormous southern right whaleshanging out with humans. This might have something to do with the fact that we hunted them nearly to extinction. Or it could just be because our homes can't comfortably accommodate a 50-foot-long, 60-ton aquatic houseguest. Either/or. So it's easy to understand the excitement that filled local residents when they heard that a pair of these incredible leviathans were lounging right on the coast of Perth, Australia. Presumably, the whales were interested in checking out the surfing scene at Esperance's Fourth Beach. Whatever the reason for their casual beach trip, Jaimen Hudson headed down the footpath with his drone as soon he got word. He knew he had to capture the moment on camera. Southern right whales are just one of the many majestic animals that make their home in Australia.
