THE UNEXPECTED FRIENDLY GIANT

A baby sperm whale assumed the role of a friendly giant when faced with two awestruck divers. Swimming in the Caribbean Sea off the coast of Dominica, the sperm whale grew curious of his guests and headed towards them. These incredible photographs were taken by 44 year old Belgian Ellen Cuylaerts. The globetrotting photographer’s most recent travels brought her to Dominica in search of sperm whales.
