Orphan Whale adopts Boat

An orphaned whale is under the impression a boat out in the ocean is its momma and has been trying to feed on it. While this may sound like a sweet story and sad it grows more dangerous as the baby whale continues on. See, without his/her mom it is not getting the nutrition it would get from her, which means he/she is growing weaker and if not cared for he/she can die of starvation. I’m sure by now there are rescuers trying to toss food out to the young whale calf but that doesn’t mean much. As he/she grows weaker, sharks are sure to get wind of it. Take a peek at the video below. This may not be a human baby but it is still a baby that needs her/his mom.
