Original Toronto Star caption: With a dinghy on his nose; Nacho; a two-year-old gray whale; shows his playful side to people aboard a whale-watching ship out of San Diego. The 30-foot; 7-ton Nacho made history when he became the first whale to seek human companionship; allowing people to pet him and scratch him. Experts say they are baffled by the young whale's friendly manner. That 6-foot gash is his mouth.
