## Resource

A Massachusetts boater captured jaw-dropping footage of a pod of humpback whales cruising dangerously close to his boat — even his dog got a front-row seat. These 60-foot giants, known for their playful curiosity and filter-feeding habits, are becoming more common off the coast — but still face threats like boat strikes, climate change, and noise pollution. This rare encounter is a stunning reminder of the ocean’s wild beauty and the urgent need to protect it. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
