I find it's funny how the Aussies and Maoris try to save almost any animal they saw... why the Japs kill almost any animal they want...

Are you kidding, Australia has some horrific animal cruelty going on.

And most Japanese are not cruel to animals. Most are horrified by what goes on in the Cove and don't eat whale ect. I will remove racist comments and I don't support them. Thanks.

that is the most amazing thing I`ve ever seen! and the reunion was amazing too, I just love how he keep getting closer to her, and looking at her while making this cozy sounds. It`s like he was saying thank you, and the pod follows :) just proves that animals know more than we think they do.

Yep, It's amazing alright. This was in 1997 and Ben is still alive today and doing incredible. He's just over 30 years old now. He featured in the documentary that Ingrid did last year, where he was catching rays with his family.

Have you seen the other short video I posted of Ingrid talking about Ben?

Hi, can anyone explain to me what is the difference between bean and ben? Bean as in soya bean? Thank you and i am appreciated to people who explain it to me.

@jason7456

He name is ben, it just sounds like bean with Ingrids NZ accent.

Woah how did the whale get that far off the beach?

[ISuperClarexD]

i hate how she says ben.. its not bean, its BEN

[iwouldbonekerihilson]

Killer Whales are the smartest of all the Whale species. She was in no danger swimming with them because the one she helped rescue would no doubt remember her face. They are near human in their intelligence. However if you attempt to harm one and itgets away it will remember you and try to tear you apart. Watch the movie Orca and you will see what I mean.

@binbashLinuxAhole totally agree! Japan & China suxx
