Rowan Dear, Baby Boomer (ANIMAL & NATURE 2023)

Over 6 days whilst swimming with whales in Niue, A humpback whale calf takes a shine to us and decides we will be his toys. Each time we would see him and mum, Mum would watch on whilst the baby would swim over to us and look at us eyeball to eyeball and play around with us, sometimes nudging us with his nose.
