Nan’s Hypothesis
Nan felt confident she knew the explanation behind the whale’s peculiar, uncommon behavior after reviewing footage from her and her buddy’s underwater cameras, the drone, and the deck.
Nan reasoned that the whale had kept her close to him to protect her from the shark that was lurking nearby.
This made sense given her knowledge of humpback whale behavior, but it was the first time she’d heard of, let alone observed, whales behaving in this manner with humans.
