A family called the police on a group of humpback whales they bumped into while on a boat trip.

The hilarious moment was caught on camera and the American family who are literally freaking out can be heard screaming as three whales approach their boat to say hi.

One man, who isn’t as calm as he pretends to be, tells the group to ‘calm down’ before a woman can be heard saying ‘we’re going to die’, adding: ‘I’m calling 911’.

When the operator picks up, the woman continues: ‘I’m out in Puget Sound and there are three grey whales right underneath our boat and I’m afraid that we might get flipped over and I’m scared.’



She goes on to explain that she just wanted to call and let the police know their location in case anything happened to them.

The family then decides to start the engine to move the boat away from the huge creatures – before freaking out again because they think the whales are following them.

Earlier in the clip, one woman, clearly overwhelmed by the once-in-a-lifetime experience, can be heard crying as the man tells her to ‘relax’.

Another woman says: ‘Oh my god, he’s coming right under us,’ as the man tells them: ‘Look at this you guys, you’ll never see this again.’

The man screams out in amazement as the whale starts ‘rolling’ in the water.

He tells his ‘honey’ not to be scared and she replies: ‘It’s a whale, it’s gonna kill us’.

To which the man replies: ‘It’s not scary, they’re just checking us out dude. They’re just whales, they’re not gonna kill us’. Adding: ‘I could’ve touched him’.

He ends the video by saying: ‘You will never forget that’.

People of the internet is loving the video, with one saying: ‘How do you go to the ocean and call the cops on whales when you’re going to their home?’

Another one said: ‘I’m dead.’
