Here’s one whale that wants in with the ladies. Dawn Feuerberg’s tour company organizes annual all-female trips to Baja California, Mexico, for whale watching and other activities.

This year the ladies on board got a big surprise when a cheeky whale approached their boat on April 3 and was seemingly lapping up the affection.
