Brilliant Drone Footage Captures Baby Whale Trying To Get A Piggyback From Mom

A drone flying off the coast of Hawaii captured some stunning footage of a mother humpback whale and her calf swimming along together.

Humpbacks have a notoriously close bond with their mothers -- for six to ten months, they are inseparable.

This calf really took that to heart, even trying to get a piggyback from mom.

Humpback calfs weigh about one ton, though -- so mom (unsurprisingly) didn't oblige.
