Remember the Blue Whale vid I put up the other day? Check out this footage of a pod of Fin Whales

[A HERETIC I AM]

Here's the thread from the other day;

More drone footage, this time just above the water of a pod of Fin Whales, Rorquals like the Blue, just a smaller cousin, if you will.

It appears two of them take a good, solid look at the drone as it flies ahead of the pod.

I'm absolutely fascinated by these creatures. I'm a trucker. Perhaps I should have been a Marine Biologist!

The Baleen whales are particularly susceptible to ingesting plastics in the ocean and the accounts of such whales being found with literally giant balls consisting of thousands of tiny plastic bits in their digestive systems is a huge warning sign. If we have gone to the great lengths to stop large scale commercial whaling, and thus allow populations to rebound, only to lose these animals because of our pollution of the seas with plastics, it will be a tragedy beyond measure.
