72 Majestic Whale Photos To Celebrate World Whale Day
Today is World Whale Day, an event started in Maui, Hawaii, in 1980, to raise awareness and to protect these majestic creatures and their habitat. But this is no backyard conservation event: it's also a fun opportunity to participate in the The Maui Whale Festival, that will feature a parade, live music, and other festivities!
This leviathan of a list is Bored Panda's way of taking part, and letting you join, in these World Whale Day festivities. Which photo do you find the most inspiring? Do you have some whale photos of your own? Vote or submit your pics below!

I don´t like the first one. No matter what anyone will say, that courtain of bubbles and that croud of divers so close to a cuf and its mam IS stressing. All other photos are just fabulous!

It's amazing how deep the ocean is. Like a never ending portal to another world. Absolutely beautiful with the whale
Who's Looking At Whom?
I've always felt that being able to look into a whales eye is like seeing wisdom and our past and it's just something that defies explanation. I feel a great sense of peace, awe, respect and love every time I see a picture of a whale. Maybe I can see them in real life some day.
