Portia I hope your are reading this whale story. I know you would love it too.
Okay, I remember a similar animal story on TV. One of those reality video shows. A child fell over the zoo's railing at the primate compound. He landed quite a ways down and was knocked unconscious. One of the gorillas realized something was wrong and came over to the boy and tried to rouse him with a nudge. When he didn't move, the gorilla stood by him and kept the other gorillas at bay until the paramedics arrived and hoisted him out of there. This was all shown on tv. I cried about that one. It so touched me. At the same time, I couldn't help but think about one of the most heartbreaking movies for me, Gorillas in the Mist. When I first learned about gorilla poaching for their heads and hands, I was beside myself with grief.
