I think animals are much smarter than people give them credit for.

In this case, I think the whale was protecting Nan Hauser. Protective behavior from aquatic mammals like whales and dolphins towards humans is well documented. In a number of cases, dolphins and whales will swim close to boats and ships and lift their head and eyes above the water to " spy " on the ship and to extend friendly greetings.

This may well just be a typical day at the office for these social creatures.
