I agree with Loren. It was not magical for the whale. She suffered horrendously because of the US Navy active sonar which had driven her and her baby into the river as well from the torture she had to endure from the Orca sounds, pipe sounds, explosions, etc., conducted by NOAA and the Yurok Tribe to chase her out into the ocean so that they can proceed with their yearly salmon festival. Whales have brains ranging from dog, monkey, human and much larger than human size brains. No need to make a stink out of people "anthropomorphizing" the whales. Why don't we throw this word "anthropomorphism" into the trash can, it serves no purpose.
