You Can't Possibly Watch a Better Gray Whale Video Than This

Maybe you saw the video last week of two gray whales kissing up to a pair of boaters off the Orange County coast.

But take another look, and you'll notice that the guy in the striped shirt is clutching a video camera himself.

Now that guy has posted his footage to YouTube, and it's as up-close-and-personal as you'd expect. Really, the only way to get better video would be if a whale swallowed the camera.

Check out both clips above.
