A scientist was delighted when a juvenile killer whale swam toward her in Antarctic waters off New Zealand and head-butted her camera. He then opened his mammoth mouth and displayed a partially eaten toothfish between his jaws. Regina Eisert said she believes the whale may have wanted to share the meal with her — or was simply showing off. She said she had just enough time to set up her “whalfie stick” (a whale selfie mount) before he approached. Elsert’s close encounter occurred just as she was finishing her research for the season in the Ross Sea region Marine Protected Area.
