I watched a show about a whale and her baby so im posting my thoughts and feelings here i feel i must share.
I felt compelled to write about a story i watched on tv yesterday. I stirred many emotions such as sadness, wonder,fear,and then loving.
It was about 12 killer whales and a blue whale cow and her baby it took place on mothers day some years back In a bay I think In california. I seen it on animal planet. It was called whale attack i believe if you have cable see if its going to be on again, you wont regret watching it.
as the show started a whale watching trip seen some commotion in the water ahead of them they though it was frolicking orcas so they head there with excitement and smiles. Jist as they arrive they see its not frolickling it was a horrable scene of 12 orcas attacking a blue whale then it was noticed they were after her calf and the mother was fighting and fighting all 12 orcas off and away from her baby. She held her baby close not allowing the orcas to seperate them, at times she would list the calf up onto her under billy out of the water so the orcas cant get it. The orcas were trying to drown the baby. They would push it under the water and not let it up. The mother would slap her tail at them and push them away. It was amazing what she was doing to save her baby. Yea blue whales are the biggest whales in the world but her baby wasnt. And the orcas were using tactics like tag teaming half would leave to rest and breath while the others continued there attack than they would go back in and the others would leave. It was a mazing the stragy they used and the cooperation in the attack. i was horrified to watch the whales but intriged with the attackers and there planning.
the orcas would keep at trying to separate the mother and baby but the mother would not have that. As I watched this attack which the show said was 6 hours long i wanted to cry i just knew the baby was not going to survive. Even with the mother fighting and fighting. Everyone figured out th tactics of the orcas they were too busy watching what they were doing and even though they relized what the mother was doing like pulling it close and rolling the baby on her underbelly and out of water they didnt see the mothers plan. It amazes me cause i didnt see it nither maybe due to the fact i dont know things about sea creatures like i wish i did. Its wonderful how both preditue and prey are born with knowledge of each other the instictive information and how such a huge mammel such as the blue whale can not only out smart and act covertly of 12 killerwhales and the cool minded mom with all these orcas constantly attacking her and her baby. To have her wits about her enough to think if only i can get closer to shore where the orcas dont like to go in shallower waters. but durning the orcas tag team attacking in those brief moments nudge her babu while holding it to more shallow water and with all the tactic the orcas had didn see it cause if they had seen it they would have blocked the way.so during these terrifying 6 hours the mom was moving her baby to safety. and as soon as she got to the shallower water the orca finally relized what she had done and they all left out to the deeper water.
though bleeding and hurt the mom saved her baby i burst into tears.
This show showed me the power of motherhood and what a mom will do for her child. The fight she put up and the cool headed ness of what she had to do in a crisis. It makes me think how wonderful that a mother would do that for her child. Some say animals dont feel love just instinct this show told me more. I would die protecting my children and those i love and the very thought of such things give me chills, and a realization i was not prepared for. this mother with nothing more than he hugeness and a calm brain to use in the pretection of her offspring makes me wonder why dont more mothers protect there children better. Im not saying all moms wouldnt die for there child but there are a few that just let it happen they dont try to stop the harm comming to there child at the hands of another they just cry and nothing else. the abuse some mothers allow to happen to there children, they know its happing but pretend its not. then when its too late they have regret and remorse and have to live with "i knew it was happening I should have stopped it". There is so much to learn from the show I just wish everyone had seen it and if they have i hope it shows a mom how pressious a child is. People think that animals are lowly and benieth us but there is so much to learn from them but we are just too stupid to learn from them. Animals have knowledge and instinces we dont possess. We are the lower beings of thos world not the animals in it. some harm there children just to do it a anger or control thing or some psycilogica fucked up in us. The only time animals kill there own is when they is no other recourse.
Can you imagin they raw instinct the mothers that whatched this on there mothers day outing with there children and the own mothers and even the fathers in the group. They were all viably affected and the protect my child instinct came to surface. they showed them all hanging on to there child feeling what the mother whale must have been feeling, show can such emotion be not felt by the onlookers. They were all holding there children close to them as the mother whale was to her baby. It was a sad mothers day at the start but when the mother and baby were free and safe it was a wonderful feeling. It showed all the parents that no matter how hopless something looks 12 orcas on a mom and baby whale, seemed impossable that they would servive and even more immpossable for the baby to live, the mother did it saved her baby from the crazy odds that were before them and she never gave up. This should show us all never to give up never to stop fighting and with a strong enough will you can over come anything. children arnt only precious to us but to the lowly animals in our world. Funny animals dont seem so lowly to me anymore, im going to take what i learned and use it in my life. never give up no matter how dark things look you can servive the the mother whale that protecter her cub from 12 killerwhales
