Another user suggested, "It's really amazing how aware this animals are about their body and the surroundings. They can swing the tail a few cm from the board, but still not touch it. Even more, they actually seem to take it as a game."

Whales are not really dangerous to humans

Whales are not inherently friendly or unfriendly towards humans, they are pretty indifferent to the presence of humans. They are wild animals, and their behaviour can vary depending on the species, individual, and specific circumstances.

In general, whales do not pose a threat to humans and are known for their peaceful nature. However, it's important to exercise caution and maintain a respectful distance when encountering whales in the wild.

Approaching them too closely or disturbing their natural behaviour can potentially result in unintended consequences. It's always advisable to observe whales from a safe distance and follow guidelines set by marine mammal experts or local authorities to ensure both human safety and the well-being of these magnificent creatures.
