"They are not a mother and calf!" I screamed at the top of my lungs in the general direction of the dinghy. "These whales are mating!" I had no clue whether the ranger, the guide, the skipper, and other guests on boat could hear me, but I couldn't care less. Hyperventilating from over-excitement, I'd completely forgotten how cold I was (6°C). Yet at this moment, bobbing at the surface next to these two whales I felt oddly warm, for I was witnessing mating southern right whales.
