>> reporter: they were telling us 300 yards at least. but with this mother and calf, that calf -- it's precarious. they have a long migration from baja to the arctic and it needs to keep its weight up so anything that could keep that calf from getting sustenance from its mom is really dangerous for the calf. stay further away if you can they are saying. >> right. joe vazquez, thank you. gadget lovers, you're ready, aren't you?
