Off the coast of
Juneau, Alaska, a group of 15
Humpback Whales works in tandem to catch
herring using the bubble net feeding technique, in which they exhale through their
blowholes, creating a ring of bubbles up to 30 m (100 ft) in diameter. The whales then suddenly swim upwards through the bubble net swallowing thousands of fish in each gulp.Photo credit:
