The fact that this wasn't even planned and he managed to spit out many facts about the blue whale is truly amazing
That's a 'this is this my moment to shine, alright a lifetime of whale facts don't you dare fail me'. X-D
@Gothen Mosphars let’s be honest though he prolly has facts for 100s of different types of animals cause that’s all he does and is passionate about, he does a thing called deadly 60. You may have heard it
@@AngelEmfrbl tbf he has a lifetime of facts for most animals
"Blue whales are big!" he basically said
I wonder if he talked in his sleep?
He sounds like a kid who just found his Favorite game at the store
+Hashed Prod. Well a Blue Whale is quite rare, you will be lucky if you can even spot one in your life time.
smf333 Yeah everyone has that moment, i myself act the same whenever i see a beautiful Guitar or enter a Guitar shop :)
+Hashed Prod. X
how would you feel if you saw the biggest animal on earth in person
bless him though
The journalist’s tone just made me smile. I appreciate his enthusiasm and directness on how humanity effects the livelihood of whales 🐳
His names Steve bachshaw I think,he’s been working hard for at least 15 years now,I remember watching him as a kid on the kids channel in the uk and probably the reason why I love to watch nature docs,he’s a really inspirational person and has made some excellent documentaries I’d recommend checking him out
@@LD-bj4xc yes the show I watched him on with my son was called Deady 60. The man has a wealth of information on animals and his enthusiasm on the show is similar to Steve Irwin.
@JJ Sundra Are you trying to convince people of your opinion?
True. I also pray the save the whale programs continue to be successful.
It would be a total disgrace to humanity should they get hunted to extinction. We need to continue efforts to keep giving them a safe place to live. It was so cool the way that one whale just showed up. It's almost like he knew those people were there to give him help. I'm rootin' for the best.
At 0:47 it really seems like homoeroticism could save the oceans..!
Truly extraordinary. The thing that truly makes this is the reporter being genuinely excited about the blue whale. He knows enough facts about it that he can ramble while making every factual point and statement. Very cool and very unique. Nicely done and extraordinarily beautiful
Most genuine realistic factual & rational excitement I've ever heard from a reporter. I bet they had to tie him in to keep from jumping over the side.
@@kathryncarter6143 😂😂😂
@@kathryncarter6143 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳
@@kathryncarter6143 I won't blame him if he actually did that. He legit sounds like Steve Irwin.
@@aalokkarnikwell we sure could use more people that will sincerely care about watching over our animal friends. I sure have a soft heart when it comes to loving our animal friends.
"We have on our helicopter a blue whale!"
RIP to all those people on it.
+Ketston HAHA!
+Ketston you're hilarious! I loved this aahHAHAHAHAH
+Ketston Thanks for making me laugth ahah :3
+Ketston u just made my night bro...lol....
Haha Made me laugh :)
We all need to be this excited about all our precious wildlife.
Our?
@User lol
Never mind Whales, humans don't even like humans.
Glad fake cnn news wasn't there, I love real news stories,
@@donaldstrubhar4697 Sigh..
Steve Backshall, uk’s very own answer to the legend that was Steve Irwin. Both so passionate about what they do. And both clearly fabulous human beings.
I’m a proud Aussie and I could hear that same deep love on this guys voice that Steve Irwin had
I saw him in Waitrose
Crikey!Steve Irwin was an idiot!
@@samiam619 naive maybe, definitely not an idiot😉
@@samiam619
I will have to agree with you on that.
The way he just non stop rambled all these facts about the blue whale reminded me of when You know when you have to convince your mum to buy you something or to let you go somewhere..
Guy's a legend.
Right!
Absolutely
Brilliant moment for this dude! I can absolutely appreciate and understand his excitement in that moment!
He has one of the coolest jobs in the world right now...
The next generation of Attenborough!
+Tim Senna Hmm, I beg to differ. James May, Hammond and Clarkson have the best jobs
***** Not any more though ;)
Tim Senna yeah all he needs to do all day is swim around and look big
You mean the Blue Whale?... yes, a very cool job. 😁
*Normally interviews a random woman.Briefly spots a blue whale,immedeatly starts performing a biology exam*
🤣
What a THRILL!
The point where he shoves her is great, not the shove but the obvious looks of delight on both their faces.
I know ! When he shoved her i was thinking buddy what are you doing! He was so excited!!🤣👍
I still wanted him to get her reaction, too, though. But I guess he can be excused seeing as he regressed to about 8 years old..
Would’ve loved the wide angle, too, but again - live tv - and exciting to hear this story.
He puts his hand on her shoulder...
"A creature that we hunted so 99% of its number has disappeared" this has to be the saddest and most shameful line I've heard
Agreed. Humanity has such a capacity for evil and destruction. At the same time, (and thank goodness) we also have the same capacity for love and compassion and empathy.
Its actually mad to think that something bigger then the largest dinosaur that we know still swim in the oceans in our time, imagine what else is lurking in the depths
+Srib theres always a bigger fish....
+TheWesnik I have a bad feeling about this
You've woken then hive!!
+Srib godzilla where are you hiding big boi
+Srib An honest politician
Nature will bounce back if humanity gives it a chance
+David Good nature is still all around us as well as all around where no people are. But the world has been built giving certain animals we killed off a slight chance to return back to normal. Many animals have been brought back and are back in huge numbers, because like you said, we gave it a chance. But many of the animals we killed off have no place to live anymore except for small regions. The wolf in europe is a prime example. Outside of densely populated regions in a few countries like Russia, the few that have been released or roam into southern europe either disappear or starve due to a lack of food/wild animals for it to eat because we have covered most of the areas with communities of people. So for some aninmals you are right, but for many they have no chance of survival in the wild anymore.
John John Humanity does not have the right to make one species extinct
+David Good I mean we technically do, but we won't survive if we keep killing species off as fast as we are

Purple Fuzzy you technically can
Some summers ago, I read an article that stated the krill were appearing in staggering numbers in the Santa Barbara Channel, in southern California and the krill had attracted a significant number of humpback whales into the channel. So I booked a whale-watching tour on a catamaran sailboat, which sounded like more fun than a big diesel boat, and better for not annoying sea creatures. We did not see a single humpback whale that day - but were surrounded (literally) by blue whales, feeding on the krill. The sailboat idea turned out to be a winner - we had a big blue swim alongside us at a distance of less than 20 feet while we all pointed and stammered.
That sounds like a once in a lifetime experience to treasure!
Upload video to YT please
@@fionatanzer5270 it was - my chances of seeing another blue whale are pretty much zero.
We went to Baja Sur six years ago when I was pregnant with my youngest. Went on a couple of whale watching trips. The first we saw hundreds of gray whales, and a mama and baby spy-hopped right next to our boat and I got to pat them each on the nose. 😍 Then the second tour we were surrounded by at least a hundred blue whales. You don’t want to get too close to those ones, though, they’ll capsize your boat. Such an amazing experience.
Amazing! I'm a UCSB aquatic biology alum, do you remember what year that was?
There was 2 wonders here. The magnificent blue whale 🐳 and Steve's presentation skills. He just saw something probably he been dreaming of his whole life. Anyone would be like either in awe, cry or scream in excitement. I for one would be speechless or start uttering full gibberish. Steve manage to give us all these facts and present in a way that gets everyone excited. Hats off Steve!
Love this guy's enthusiasm. Reminds me of Steve Irwin. Everyone should be this passionate about at least one good thing in their life.
Human to human: "This is your home turf..."
Whale: "Allow me to disagree, by merely appearing."
Absolutely
5 years old video in recommended? Probably because i watched a vid with David Attenborough :)
Curious...are you a millennial? These type of comments pop up on almost every video🤷🏼♀️
Underrated, props for this comment. Nature is beautiful
Gotta love the lady’s reaction too. She wasn’t offended at all that she got interrupted, she was just so dang ecstatic to see the whale. :)
The right titel:
Silent swimming of a blue whale was interrupted by a live interview ...
😁 That's about right.
Shut up
@@tamirerez2547 just sounds like your having ago at him
It makes me smile seeing how happy and excited he is.
This comment wins. 👍
I remember watching his Deadly 60 show on CBBC Back in the day
Best show of my childhood by far
+Commander Melon 😜
+Ginsidious The memories OMFG
Wtf "Back in the day". It was less than 10 years ago. How old are you
Damn he just made me cry over whales at 6am. But he's so right, PROTECT THE ECOSYSTEMS and MOTHER NATURE THRIVES!
same but at 8
4am here and I am cry too. Incredible creatures.
5:45 am here and blubbering.
the undertone is a desperate plea for people to see what a difference one generation can make to an eco system in bringing hope and letting life flourish in all its forms. has made me tears.
Majestic as fuck.
Steve is such a sweetheart when he's excited 🙈
Aww, Steve becomes an excited 10 year old at the interruption. Bless
His genuine excitement brings tears to my eyes every time I watch 0:16
The guy who's doing the interview is really passionate about what he's talking about. That's great to see no matter what it is.
He does a bunch of nature documentaries and tv shows, including Deadly 60, and it's so beautiful to watch him. He gets just as excited as Steve Irwin did
Wow he's happy!
+Ketston He sure is buddy :)
+Ketston Imagine doing a show about a very rare blue whale and then it actually appears infront of you, fucking amazing.
Yeah ^_^
there is a guy orgasming at the end
+Mark Gettins Hahahaha
This man is at no loss for timely, relevant, comprehensible vocal words. Great reportage!
BUT DOES IT MAKE THE DEADLY 60 ?!
+smokethemdown420 this made me laugh so hard
LOL Lost it. Gujob
Only if you're a krill.
😂😂👏👏👏
If that thing jumps out of the water, and falls on top of you, then yes, you're most certainly knocked out long enough to drown 😝
When Steve gets that word in his ear he goes like a child at Christmas unwrapping that one present they've waited for all year lol lovely scenes 🐋🐋👍👍
Imagine 600 years ago you're sailing across the sea in search of new lands and new worlds and THIS pops up next to your boat, completely dwarfing it.
If that wouldn't excite you (at the same time as scaring you) then you wouldn't be an explorer!
The wonder back in the days was real. Now...that wonderment is gone. It’s a small world after all
This guy know his stuff, the way he educates me with blue whale lifestyle is amazing. It’s like I’m in a lecture room again
@@MaluluKeleGuiSila its a small screen*
@@elephantsong7782 what small screen?
@@MaluluKeleGuiSila The wonderment is gone until you're there when the animal appears!!🌊🙀🐬
Very impressive how much information he was able to provide so clearly in the middle of such an emotional moment.
Awhh this is so pure and heartwarming! You can hear Steve Backshall's voice shaking as he reels off the Blue Whale facts because he's just so incredibly excited and emotional
His excitement is infectious. I am crying with the beauty of it...
You can hear the utter passion in this guy's voice. So thankful to have found this, I'd like to read up more about his work now!
Oct. 2020 and I needed something magnificent to see and this Blue Whale beats all! I am smiling, thanks so much for bringing us along on the wildlife journey. I am reminded again about the wonders on our planet.
Same here. I needed this
Same💙🐳💙
Same ! 💙
How lucky we are to be able to just click on YT and see extraordinary things that most people in human history couldn't even imagine. We're priviledge and have the responsibility to pass on the world as unspoiled as possible to future generations.
As they say in the diving industry this lad could talk under water with a mouth full of marbles!
I bet even the plankton got hyped when he started talking about the whale.
Beautiful video! I love how excited and passionate he is for whales and animals in general. :)
Is anyone else carried away by the reporters enthusiasm? Wonderful moment.
I love the enthusiasm this man has...
He sounds like Tom Holland leaking Marvel spoilers
😂😂
is the host reading off of the script? because its freaking amazing if he just started spewing facts out of his head.
No I think he's a scientist or some kind of biologist.. I'm pretty sure he had a TV show called deadly 60 or something like that.
+Soe AhaKar he is a naturalist.
It's the thing he nerds out on lol
@@kaladin7487 yes he did and he is a very knowledgeable man, he is also very passionate about animals.
@Erich Von Manstein donnnn’t be so mean 🤣
I LOVE his sheer joy.
Keep the Norwegians and Japanese from slaughtering whales for their dinner plates then maybe these mammals will have a chance
I do agree!
There are FOUR countries that still hunt whales, NOT JUST TWO.
JAPAN
NORWAY
RUSSIA*
UNITED STATES*
(EDIT: CANADA*)
* Denotes countries which allow certain indigenous groups a certain number of whales each year.
END ALL WHALING! We shouldn’t allow the hunting of creatures whose intelligence rivals ours....
@@Rick_Sanchez_C137_ The amount of carnage, violence and misery a whale must go through for its life to be terminated must be horrendous, something that big doesn't just die from a simple stab in the heart or to the head.
@@Rick_Sanchez_C137_ I was going to add Iceland to your list until I did a quick check and found out the good news. Here's hoping Hvalur hf continue their cessation of whaling indefinitely!
@@Rick_Sanchez_C137_ Don't forget the Faroe Islands.
Give this man a raise!
I feel so happy for that man. He is passionate about whales. It's very sweet. God bless him and the whales.
The joy in his voice. It is 6 years later, and he is probably still beaming from head to toe over seeing the blue whale - Amazing.
Amazing presenter too, able to stream off so much commentary live, ad hoc and emotively with so much info.
I’ve seen a Blue whale only once and, it really can’t be described. Sure, you can compare it to a size of something but, the beauty, grace and majesty. All you can do is watch in awe.
How much do you love this young man being so amazed at thev sight of this that he shoves the lady he is interviewing and has all this information to share.
love this mans passion for animals.
I don't think that enthusiasm is just because he's a reporter lol
Wholesome
His excitement is amazingly emotional and exhilarating 🙌🏻
His excitement is just lovely. It’s 2020 and my life needs this. Bless you, beautiful whale and ecstatic reporter ❤️
His name is Steve Backshall and I really do recommend you check out his other stuff, he works with animals and he’s an amazing person!
His enthusiasm made me smile so hard. What a rare, beautiful moment!
The journalist and people: OMG ITS A BLUE WHALE! :DD
The blue whale just vibing: .___.
Bruh you just called Steve Backshall a journalist 😭
It really is beautiful. Its shape suits the water so much it almost looks like a sci-fi spaceship
It’s the other way around
I love the look of absolute Christmas joy that Doris has on her face when they first spot the Blue Whale. :-)
Amazing footage. So lucky to see him. He's beautiful. So grateful for their recovery.
Credit where credit is due - Steve did an amazing job live
I'm so happy for this guy!
No idea how this video popped up but the enthusiasm on the reporter brought a smile to my face! Great to see someone so passionate who cares for our wildlife. 😀👍
This has been my go-to happy vid for last day. It makes me so happy to hear the excitement in Steve's voice. The footage is amazing.
Who else is here because of Unilad?
Me 😂😂
This is how that old man in the Witcher 3 would've reacted.
if only he turned when I told him :(
That was beautiful :’) what a lovely soul
Hi - October 2020 here. You have no idea how badly I needed to see that. Thanks guys.❤️
I love this guy's excitement and attitude. It feels good to know that there are others that share my love for all creatures, big and small.
Lady: I’ve been leading daily whale watching trips out of...
Whale: HEYYY YOU GUYYYYS!
It's actually pretty touching to hear how happy he is. :)
The way he gets so excited is the cutest thing ever 😭! And how fascinating blue whales are, so amazing!!
This beauty is the real KING of size
Megalodons are just over exaggerated
Absolutely amazing!
+SINR ONE Cool bomb! i like the 'bits'
Love how excited he is
This gave me goosebumps
national geographic hired the guy
Damn nature. You lovely!
I love his enthusiasm
I love his reaction, so pure.
If I was that lady I would have been like..."I can't top that. Bye."
Lost for words... we hunted 98% of these amazing beautiful and gentle creatures... what are we like :(
Very very sad.
Cancer
Sh*t. We're sh*t 😔
😭❤️ He's so excited. What a good reporter 👌
I love the passion he was speaking with! As you should! It’s like a miracle being that close to such a majestic animal. ❤
Woman: talks
Largest Animal on Earth: *Allow me to introduce myself*
Damn that is gorgeous!! Must've been quite the experience to see it live. I'd be very excited as well... just beautiful!
His excitement & knowledge make the Blue Whale siting even more exciting. I love and live Bachshall's passion.
Appreciate this time of your life watching this.
I think he came...
When the inevitable day comes that Sir David is no longer with us, I will look to Steve Backshall and Chris Packham to take the torch and continue his marvellous work.
Love his excitement and enthusiasm
This guys enthusiasm is amazing. You can tell he loves his job.
He loves animals :)
I feel like that guy single-handily changed the world through share power of will. :)
OMG THATS SO BEAUTIFUL I LOVE WHALES SO MUCh
Wow! Thank you for the footage. The Blue Whale is simply magnificent!!
His enthusiasm is off the charts!!!
I can imagine if he's not on camera the reporter gonna jumped like excited kid
