LONDON, Aug. 19 (UPI) — A British zoologist and his camera crew recorded the “perfect comic timing” of a blue whale that appeared just as he was lamenting the absence of the creatures.
The footage, posted to YouTube by BBC Earth Unplugged, features zoologist Mark Carwardine explaining to his documentary cameras how the winds and choppy waves were making it difficult for them to find any blue whales.
“It just makes it so challenging. It’s quite exciting in one way, very frustrating in another,” Carwardine says. “You know they’re here but you just jolly well can’t find them.”
A blue whale then displays its “perfect comic timing” by surfacing to spray water from its blowhole just as Carwardine finishes his sentence.
“Oh look. There is one,” Carwardine says through laughter. “Actually that was a lot easier than I was expecting.”
“There’s a whale right there. Talk of the devil,” he says, as he and the camera crew laugh at their lucky timing.
