Related: About this forumWhale Sneezes Rainbow, Proving Nature is Beautiful and Weird
By Brandon Specktor, Senior Writer | April 11, 2018 04:23pm ET
They say that at the end of every rainbow is a humpback whale.
Wait, do they say that? Regardless thanks to a California wildlife photographer with impeccable timing, you can now say with certainty that at the end of at least one rainbow, there is at least one humpback whale. Watch the glorious, light-spouting cetacean seemingly sneeze a rainbow out of its blowhole in the Instagram video above.
Wildlife photographer Domenic Biagini caught this footage while on a whale-spotting excursion near San Diego last December. (The Instagram feed of Biagini, a photographer for Captain Dave's Dolphin & Whale Watching Safari, is loaded with breathtaking videos of whales and dolphins.) Biagini posted the clip to Reddit yesterday (April 10), and the footage has since amassed more than 26,000 "upvotes." [Whale Album: Giants of the Deep]

So many lives lost already, trying to move in close enough to get the big picture!
Small whales aren't a problem.
Gotta catch them while they're sleeping.
