Incredible Moment As Whale Swims Up To Captain And Makes An Unusual Request Caught On Video

For the past 20 years, Paco Jimenez Franco has been a whale watching captain in the waters of Ojo de Liebre, a lagoon on the Pacific coast of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula. There, he’s had a front row seat to these extraordinary animals — sightings of whom Franco regards a gift. And he’s found a special way of giving back.

One day when a lady whale approached him close enough, he picked some lice off her. Clearly relieved, she approached him again so he could continue removing the parasites from her. When a whale approached the sea captain, he noticed that she had a sea lice infestation and decided to help her by removing some of them.
