NOVA SCOTIA, Canada -- Whale watchers got a once-in-a-lifetime experience off the coast of Nova Scotia, where they saw a humpback whale do a backflip straight toward their boat!
The whale breached dozens of times to the delight of the tourists.
Scientists say whales breach for a number of reasons including knocking parasites off, scaring fish to eat and communication.
But the boaters think the humpback was just having fun.
