Update: South African authorities are investigating whether the whale was harassed before breaching.
A breaching Southern Right Whale landed on top of a ten meter long sail boat off the coast of South Africa on Sunday. The remarkable photos below were shot by a passenger on a nearby boat. Fortunately no one was hurt on the sailboat and the whale swam away without apparent injury. The sailboat however was considerably worse for the encounter.
