Nan Hauser: Researcher Saved By a Humpback Whale

Nan Hauser recently appeared on The Ellen’s show where she talked about a humpback whale which saved her life.

She was making a film and her director asked her to do more shots underwater. She stared swimming, but suddenly a whale approached towards her.

It was coming near in a fast speed, so she thought it was coming to attack her. But the case was different. After a few moments, she noticed another creature, a man-eating shark.

Obviously, Hauser panicked, but the whale tucked her under the fins and pushed her to the boat.

She described the re-union with her life-saving whale, was beautiful.
