The post features a 10-second Al-generated<br />reel showing people crossing a muddy-colored<br />river by boat when a massive whale-like<br />creature suddenly charges toward them at<br />extreme speed, striking without warning. The<br />first attack narrowly misses, but a second<br />Impact smashes the boat apart, creating<br />chaos as the creature disappears back into<br />the water. Posted on December 25, the video<br />has been spreading rapidly on Instagram,<br />shocking viewers with its missile-like motion<br />and sudden violence.<br />Though fictional, the clip draws inspiration<br />from real whale behavior--such as breaching,<br />spy-hopping, and sudden directional bursts--<br />where large marine mammals can accelerate<br />rapidly despite their size. By exaggerating<br />these traits, the Al video taps into deep<br />human fear of unseen aquatic giants, blurring<br />the line between real marine power and digital imagination, which is a key reason for its viral appeal.
