Humpback whale dazzles with incredible jumping spectacle. But then it becomes clear why the sea giant pounds the water like that

A humpback whale has dazzled boaters off the coast of Newport Beach, California, for days with an incredible jumping display. The many high and wild jumps of the humpback whale out of the water caused the necessary ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’: how breathtakingly beautiful nature is! Unfortunately, several wildlife photographers have now noticed and captured something striking about the whale. It suddenly makes the beautiful jumps of the animal very tragic.
