Pretty self explanatory. Post animals, post pets, post stuff about animals and pets!

Two people were thrown into the ocean after a humpback whale landed on their fishing boat off the New Hampshire coast on Tuesday morning, and the entire incident was caught on video.

The Coast Guard also confirmed that the men who were on the boat were recovered by other boaters and brought to Great Bay Marina.

These Star Trek film reinactments are getting out of hand.

That was amazing, I'm glad everyone even the whale are fine

I gather there are a good number of humbacks in the area, but wow, that was too close. That seemed like folks need to give them some space.

There's also this story from the day before about a humpback in the Piscataqua river: https://wgme.com/news/local/humpback-whale-spotted-piscataqua-river-along-maine-new-hampshire-border-portsmouth-kittery

What's happening? This is a second article today where I'm getting the following error. I've never encountered that before, and I'm not even on a VPN. Is it some kind of new regulation? I've literally never saw a similar error before, yesterday was my first time.

I updated the post to include an archive: https://ghostarchive.org/archive/9AACQ

Does that do any better? Are you in the U.S. (in case it is a region-block issue). I saw the video on network morning news chat shows, too, so I think this is getting picked up everywhere.

You're in the wrong region. If it helps, I am too 🤷
