BBC TV host is very excited about this Blue Whale that just showed up

“I can see it now! The largest ever known to have lived on our planet, larger than any of the dinosaurs, a creature we hunted so much that 99% of its numbers disappeared is right here, right now, live!”

Watch a very enthusiastic Steve Backshall, best known for outdoors/wilderness TV specials on BBC, react to the surprise appearance of a blue whale during a live shot.

It gets even more intense and fantastic when he realizes there's krill in the water. Wait for the part where he talks about the krill.

I love his excitement about nature.

[Thanks, Andrea James!]
