An incredible 40-ton humpback whale was caught on tape jumping out of the water.

The biggest animals in the world are humpback whales. The huge beasts in question weigh up to 40 tonnes, so they probably won’t be able to completely jump out of the water. This beautiful film of a humpback whale breaching the water off the coast of South Africa may be the reason for all the fuss.

The amazing video was taken by scuba diver Craig Capehart off the coast of Mbotyi, South Africa. He figures that the adult whale weighs about 40 tonnes. After that, he put the amazing video on YouTube, where millions of people have watched it. There were Capehart and three other divers on an inflatable speedboat when the humpback whale got close. They were looking for sardines so they could follow the predators those fish attract.
