NathanShark Shark
As you might have already guessed, the giant animal that has its tails gliding from side to side was, in fact, one of the most ferocious animals underwater, a shark. The threat that had this whale expert shaking in her boots was a huge shark. And to make matters worse, this ferocious being was fast approaching fast Nan. She said that as her heart thudded, she had to quickly think of a plan to save herself. She needed a game plan that was literally going to save her life from the clutches of this fearsome shark. She had to make sure that she did not execute any sudden movement or action that may startle the shark to get angry and attack her. We all know that this would end in a very unfortunate result as she stands no chance in fighting with the shark.
Possibly Harrowing Footage
It was later revealed that Hauser had never ever seen the whale before she made her way into the water that day. It was all a coincidence that soon left her at her most frightened state. And moreover, on the biologist’s nearby research vessel, Hauser’s team had another huge issue they had to deal with. They did not want to abandon their drone footage there because of the fact that they “did not want to film my death,” as Nan nicely puts it. It was troubling for both Nan and her team because there was nothing much they could do that could ever stop the shark from doing what it has intended to do. They were helpless and were desperately looking for ways to help save the marine biologist that was trapped and surrounded.
Surrounded By All Angles
Since Nan was now both surrounded by the whale and the approaching shark she was running out of places to hide or get away to. She was contemplating on whether she should swim away, or just let it play out. Either way, she was very scared of what the end result would be. But then, as the shark made its way closer to her, she has a sudden realization that went through her mind.
Life-Threatening Attack
So then when she saw the shark swimming toward Hauser, she realized what the whole incident with the whale was about. The whale was actually safeguarding her from the approaching shark that obviously had bad intentions. There had been many records about these whales protecting one another but to see them protect a human being was a rare case she had never heard of before.
What Now?
So as this realization happened, Nan felt that this could be a potentially dangerous situation. Even if she tried to swim quickly she could never beat the pace of the tiger shark. But then her luck was soon turning around. as her colleagues had gotten back into their boat and were making their way towards her. How would this all end? Was she going to have to swim or were her colleagues going to dive in and rescue her?
Quick Realization
Whales are known as the “gentle giant” of the sea. To call the whale a giant is precise as the humpback sometimes grows to about 60 feet in length and 40 tons in weight. To think that this whale was throwing Nan around is unbelievable. Humpbacks mostly feed on tiny sea creatures and plankton. There was a point in time that these humpbacks were endangered but with the efforts of conservation, they are increasing in number once again.
