The Humpback is a very large whale: an adult can usually range between 12–16 m (40–50 ft) long and weighs approximately 36,000 kg (79,000 pounds), or 36 tonnes (40 short tons); females, on average, are larger than males. It is well known for its breaching (leaping out of the water), its unusually long front fins, and its complex whale song. The Humpback Whale lives in oceans and seas around the world, and is regularly sought out by whale-watchers.

@Derreck Jones Cute, you think I've "lost my Moral compass" even though I just know how documentaries work
This person on Quora quoted this better than I ever could so I'm just going to show it here:
Think about it this way
You are in that documentary crew. In the middle of Africa. 3 of you are crammed into a Land Rover jammed to the roof (and above) with camera gear and supplies. You are at the start of a three week odyssey to shoot a nature doc. A Lion cub is injured. What do you do? You are not a vet. You have no room in your vehicle. The nearest vet might be four days away via bumpy road. The cub would likely die on route even if you were not arrested for poaching. What about the Mother? You would have to tranquillize/immobilize her (how?) while you take her cub. Maybe you would also have to frighten off/disable the pride as well for your getaway. So now maybe you have a knocked out lion(s) right beside all your camera gear you left to make room for the cub as you race off to try and find somebody somewhere who knows how to heal a lion cub. Odds are good the mother would be eaten if knocked out when the land rover was out of sight. The cub would die on route. The equipment would be damaged, stolen or lost. You would run out of gas or time. All the animals you tried to save would be dead the documentary would not get done and likely you would never do another nature doc again.
A documentary crew is extremely limited in what they can do on location. A documentary shows what is actually happening, it is not a Disney movie. It is hell out there in the wild.
But a good documentary can help save a species. Global human impact on the environment is killing far more animals every hour than if every animal ever injured on camera could have been somehow saved.
99.9% of the time all a documentary can do is say "look at this thing happening here, send help"

God, this breaks my heart. I just saw Deep Blue where 2 killer whales attack a baby humpback that was clutching to its mother. They kept trying to separate him from its mother for 6 hours and the baby was too exhausted to hold on. I can't get over how terrifying it must be to be stalked and attacked like that for SIX HOURS. and then the mother has to keep on her journey, alone. I was sobbing. I know it's just life and life can be brutal, but damn it's hard to watch.

Kriminal Dragon I don't eat meat. Vegetarian for 15 years, thanks. Don't drink cow's milk either...
@tigerx22
Kriminal Dragon uh i dont know how you thought about her not eating meat came to your defense based off her original comment. I think she knew why the orcas were exhausting the baby, to eat it.
@Kalossupremacy3356
Why didn’t the humpback kill them
@harleyquiinnnn
And do you eat meat?
@Kalossupremacy3356
Hector Aldozar the humpback should have had enough power to shatter the orcas bones so why didn’t it
@Lipsmacker6
That straight line military charge at the very beginning gives me chills. Such magnificent intelligent animals.
@samuellp1146
They are known as wolves of the sea.
@lissalives1
True, but it’s a shame they eat just about anything like sharks.
@samuellp1146
@@lissalives1 There is no shame, nature doesn't afford them the luxury to pick and choose, besides they have to eat to keep up with their voracious appetite otherwise they will perish.
