“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.
