Huge fin whale puts on a show for tourists in Canada

A group of whalewatchers off the coast of Quebec were treated to an incredible close encounters with the second largest animal on earth recently.

Eric Mouellic, a French tourist visiting Canada for the first time, caught this incredible footage of a fin whale within minutes of being in the waters off Tadoussac.

The group on the boat was watching a pair of whales feed when one swam right towards the boat with its boat wide open to collect feed - likely, krill - before diving underneath.
