Whale how about that? Mother and calf spotted on drone in North Myrtle Beach

Yes, whales live in the ocean - but there was a rare spotting caught on video Monday in North Myrtle Beach.

A mother and her calf we swimming off the coast, and North Myrtle Beach Ocean Rescue caught the duo on drone footage slowly moving near the surface of the ocean. The video posted to Facebook has had more than 1,600 views in two hours.

Sea animals must be on the move. Recently, great white sharks tagged by Ocearch have pinged off the the Grand Strand. Currently, Miss May, a 10-foot white shark, is hanging out off the coast of Murrells Inlet. A 12-foot shark named Jefferson recently pinged just off the Myrtle Beach coast, the Ocearch tracker reports.
