a curious minke whale wanting to play

We were loading the kayaks and getting ready to collect the kayakers from the ship you see in the video and a minke whale decided to come over and investigate.

This curious little guy obviously developed a serious crush on these floating contraptions.  

Minke whales are small baleen whales - only getting to about 10m|30ft in length and are very aggressive foragers around sea ice and ice floes.  Their food is primarily krill - small shrimp-like crustacean that is the main food source for 99% of all animals in Antarctica.

In all my years of interacting with minkes around the world, this is by far, the most amazing interaction I have ever had.  It did last for about 20 minutes before it decided he had enough fun and was time to go back on the hunt for breakfast.  Honestly, I believe it had a slight identity issue, thinking he might have been a kayaker...

Enjoy this little clip and follow me to see many more from my adventures from around the world.

I've always been fascinated with sea mammals.  Maybe it's because they are so different from the land mammals.  They seem unusually intelligent and mysterious.  Thanks for sharing.
