Poor, misunderstood whale. He was just looking for a high-five.

A sightseer in Baja California, Mexico, went face-to-fin with a whale that decided to get up close and personal with a group of tourists. While filming a pod of the mammals, one of the enormous sea creatures swam dangerously close to the boat. The whale reached over with one of its huge fins and tapped the unsuspecting woman on the head.

There were no injuries involved, and both whale and vacationer have lived to tell the tale. Which, we can only assume, is a cautionary one: Never deny a high-five to a sea beast.
