Heart Attack (Monterey Bay) @93954

Why is this beautiful whale named "Heart Attack"? From whale watch naturalists in Monterey Bay, "While waiting for this animal to surface, they surprised us by doing a huge breach just a couple feet off of our bow, and got all of our passengers splashed. We have been calling this whale “heart attack” because we darn near all had heart attacks from the breach." Also sighted as HW-MN0502787
