Let’s face it, there is nothing more adorable than a baby animal. We might pretend all we want, but we all melt into puddles of goo whenever we see a tiny babe near us. We don’t know what it is, but it might be their innocence that gets to us every time. Seeing their megawatt smiles can wrap us around their itty-bitty fingers, and that’s it for us. They are the epitome of innocence and adorableness and they can definitely brighten up our day. It appears that even other animals aren’t immune to their cuteness. We’ve seen many examples of momma dogs loving on little kittens and even momma cats huddling newborn puppers. It seems that whenever we see a baby, all of our parent instincts kick in and we want to make them be as comfortable and as pampered as possible. It doesn’t even matter which species they belong to. Doesn’t matter if they are domesticated or not. Little <a href="https://rumble.com/v6bril-this-baby-owl-loves-me.html" target="_blank">baby animals</a> are too precious not to love and these curious youngsters in the video are definitely there to prove us right. One paddle boarder captured this incredible group of dolphins footage from his paddle board using a GoPro camera. The amazingly close encounter occurred when this guy was just out for some relaxing time off. Considered the sea's most kind and human friendly animal, dolphins are also extremely intelligent and talented. They love to show off their skills and that is precisely what these little ones were doing.. What an insane moment to capture on video! You can only imagine what was going through this paddle boarder's head. Mind you, dolphins pose no real threat to any human, but their size is definitely intimidating! Imagine if you saw these <a href="<a href="https://rumble.com/v31bpx-swimming-with-wild-dolphins-i-incredible-encounter-gopro-hero4.html"_blank">dolphins</a> while on the same trip. Would you turn around and head back into the opposite direction, or would you try and observe this beautiful mammal? It's truly an amazing experience to witness something that you would otherwise never see while you are exploring the open sea. People often fear sea creatures even though they pose no real threat because of what is unknown. But nonetheless, this is still an insane video! Have you ever seen something like this before?

Paddleboarder Rich German recently had this close encounter with a humpback whale near Laguna Beach, California. During the beginning of the video you'll notice that the <a href="https://rumble.com/v3qcrz-boy-just-misses-seeing-incredible-humpback-whale-jump.html" target="_blank">whale</a> actually approaches him and swims underneath his board. You'll even see the whale dive several times and show it's tail! Marine specialists urge all who enter the ocean to not approach, surround or attempt to touch the humpback whales if they come close to them. Instead, they should keep a safe distance and circle the whales from behind if need be. If you find yourself in open water and close to whales, be mindful of these obvious signs of distress: rapid changes in direction or speed, erratic swimming patterns or escape tactics, like prolonged diving or underwater exhalation. Remember, the whales were in the ocean long before we did! Humpback whales were hunted as early as the 18th century. By the 19th century, many nations (the United States in particular), were hunting the animal heavily in the Atlantic Ocean and to a lesser extent in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The late-19th-century introduction of the explosive harpoon allowed whalers to accelerate their take. This, along with hunting in the Antarctic Ocean beginning in 1904, sharply reduced whale populations. During the 20th century, over 200,000 humpbacks were taken, reducing the global population by over 90%. North Atlantic populations dropped to as low as 700 individuals. Credit to 'RichGerman'.

Everyone has heard that you can swim with the dolphins, but have you ever paddle boarded with one, let alone 6 dolphins? An unheard of phenomena up until now! Paddle boarder Rich German captured this footage of an adorable pod consisting of 6 Bottlenose dolphins just off the coast of Laguna Beach CA. Watch as one of the baby dolphins actually interacts with him! The open sea can be a beautiful place. With so much amazing sea life that in land, we would otherwise be unable to interact with. Maybe that's for the best, but none the less, this is still an amazing moment! You never know what you're going to find when you set out for the open waters. You can bet that Rich German wasn't planning to be accompanied by a pod of dolphins on his little trip! The amazing thing is that it seems like these dolphins accept Rich into their pod. You can even see that they casually wait for him to catch up so they can all move together as a unit, now that's awesome! Check out these baby dolphins surprising a paddle boarder!

One paddle boarder captured this incredible Blue Whale footage from his paddle board using a GoPro camera. The amazingly close encounter occurred approximately 2 miles off the coast of Laguna Beach, California. Considered the world's largest animal, blue whales average between 70-90 feet in length! What an insane moment to capture on video! You can only imagine what was going through this paddle boarder's head. Mind you, blue whales pose no real threat to any human, but their size is definitely intimidating! Imagine if you saw this blue whale while on the same trip. Would you turn around and head back into the opposite direction, or would you try and observe this massive mammal? It's truly an amazing experience to witness something that you would otherwise never see while you are exploring the open sea. People often fear sea creatures even though they pose no real threat because of what is unknown. But none the less, this is still an insane video! Have you ever seen something like this before?

I recently captured this footage of Blue Whales from my paddle board with my GoPro. I was about 2 miles off the coast of Laguna Beach CA. This is some of the rarest footage you'll ever see of these mystical, sublime creatures. Watch at 2:00, 3:36 and 5:04 in as I put the camera underwater. Blue whales are the largest animals in the world… they are up to 100 feet long, twice the size of the biggest dinosaurs. We used to have appx 300,000 blue whales on the planet and tragically due to humans killing them only 8,000 still exist. I hope my videos spread love and awareness for these sacred, mystical beings.
