Original Toronto Star caption: This playful giant wouldn't be easy to house train; but Nacho the whale made history when he sought a friend and found it in John Koehler; captain of a whale-watching ship out of San Diego. The 30-foot; 7-ton gray whale used koehler's dinghy as a toy and allowed himself to be petted and scratched. Naturalists are baffled by the behaviour of the affable gray whale off the Mexican coast.
