A few kayakers got a little too close to three whales showing off their jumping skills last week in British Columbia, Canada.*
According to the video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=803qr5RAhz0), the group was safely observing a mother nursing her calf off the coast of the Penn Islands when the whales descended into the water and out of sight. Initially, the kayakers were at a safe distance, but when the whales suddenly breached the surface, they were much, much closer than before.*
