I'm fascinated by whales and their humongous size but it's real!y hard to get an accurate idea of how big they are.  I think this video, more than most, really gives you a feel for their size.

@dancingwoman    My sister and I went whale watching in Alaska but even then, we were some distance away and you couldn't appreciate their size.  This video really give you a picture of their size.

@Kachina624 there is a video on youtube that shows a couple of women who visit a mother whale and her baby.  They rub him and talk to him and the whale seems to love it.  Not sure what kind of whale but it's big.

I touched a whale with my hand once. It was a Gray whale, that came up to the small boat we were in, to look at us up close. The whale came to the surface and we could see its big eyeball peering at us within feet of the boat so I reached out and touched the side of its 'face'.

 Later that same day there was a beached baby Gray near our camp. The group of people I was with were all scientists, veterinarians and research people. One vet gave the baby Gray some antibiotics and then we all pushed the baby back out to sea in hopes that the mama would find it. But the next day the baby whale was beached again, dead unfortunately.
