In this episode of Did You Know?, we dive beneath the waves to uncover one of the ocean’s most astonishing truths: whales aren’t just singers, travelers, or gentle giants, they are protectors.

Across the world, whales have been seen saving seals, dolphins, and even humans from danger, stepping between predators and the vulnerable with a wisdom that defies simple explanation.

Join host Jody Colvard as she explores the science, mystery, and magic behind this behavior, from the deep resonance of whale songs that carry for thousands of miles, to the ancient instinct that seems to guide them.
