SAN DIEGO — WOW! Just WOW!
Check out this incredible video captured by Domenic Biagini for San Diego Whale Watch of a humpback whale breaching near the Scripps Pier in La Jolla.
Biagini said he recorded the majestic show on his drone Thursday afternoon during a tour.
"Realistically, it probably breached 100 times. To see any 20 to 30 ton animal literally lurching all of its weight out of the water, over and over again, is hard to explain what that is to witness," he said.
On their Facebook page, San Diego Whale Watch described the humpback as an exuberant young whale “that stole our attention and our hearts.”
Biagini said that aside from last month's sightings, playful humpback whales are rare in San Diego. He said he had not see one in two weeks.
"I was just guessing where the whale was going to come up and I got really fortunate that he was pretty predictable because I was shooting wide and was guessing where he would jump out of the water next. Seeing something like it in San Diego is really, really exciting for us," said Biagini.
