He might only eat zooplankton but after seeing the size of that thing under my AI I would probably need a new pair of swim trunks!!

Yea, it seems we are surrounded by these things - but alas I'm yet to see one ;)

That is a great shot though, I've thought about what I'd do if I did come across them, I suspect I'd be overwhelmed by their size, this guy seems really relaxed about it, great video.

What worries me more is the occasional sighting of some Orca's this year, I wouldn't like one of those jumping up and trying to flatten me ;)
