There is no doubt at all in my mind that there is more here than the instinctual caring for a newborn child.

I watched her for a time and was enchanted by the way she nudged and guided and snuggled and swam with her beautiful baby.

In those privileged moments I fell in love with something strange and wild and so beautiful out here in this vast ocean.

These two extraordinary creatures showed me that deep binding love is not just a human thing but part of their world too.
