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.

It is strictly forbidden to touch whales all over the world, but in some designated areas, it is permitted when the whale initiates the contact. Sea lice removal doesn't sound like a good way to pass time, but considering the fact that it is with a creature as gargantuan and as intelligent as a whale, it is a small price to pay to be able to interact with them. It is incredible to think that whenever she sees Franco, she knows she will feel relief from the parasites. If whales like to gossip among themselves, she's definitely putting in a good word for Paco.
