Huell Howser Whale Adventure #1

It all took place in San Ignacio Lagoon halfway down the Baja Peninsula on the Pacific side. It's here the mammoth gray whales come like clockwork each year to have their calves. The winter migration down the coast from Alaska is a journey of more than 5,000 miles one way and is one of the longest migrations made by any mammal.

And for some reason these huge gray whales, one of the oldest species on earth dating back at least 30 million years, actually seem to seek out and enjoy human contact once they reach the lagoon.

I love Huell Howser's love for whales and animals in general. He is a very generous and kindhearted man. I admire that.

Good thing Huel wasn't with a group of Japanese tourists...to his horror...they might pull out their harpoons and show Huel how they do it in Japan.

Huel...the big goof! He would have reached down to touch that whale if the guide hadn't told him not to...oh the adrinaline rush!

Whale watching tours like this are not good for the whales...they think it's okay to approach man, when nothing could be further from the truth.

Close your eyes and tell me it doesn't sound like Huell is delivering a baby.
