After Review
When looking back of the footage of what had occurred that day, Nan began to realize that the whale was not acting as an aggressor in this encounter. Nan believes that the humpback whale was actually trying to warn, and save her from the tiger shark that was lurking, attempting to lead her back to the boat.
Although she was unsure whether the shark would have actually attacked her, Hauser had no doubt in her mind that the whale was trying to help save her. Hauser states in a later interview that “maybe the shark wasn’t going to attack me, but he [the whale] was trying to save my life.”
