This is fucking terrifying
big nope
I would’ve been so shook
Awww whale.
Whale I didn’t see that coming
it would’ve scared the fuck out of me holy shit that’s big
So for anybody who doesn’t know, that ring of bubbles you see coming up before the humpback does is a “net” that the whale creates by swimming in a circle and blowing the bubbles from its blowhole. The bubble net disorients the krill/small fish/whatever and corrals them into one spot so that the whale can lunge up and feed as you see it doing. It’s most often done cooperatively in groups, and a whole bunch of whales will lunge up at once.
In other news that is one deep harbor, holy shit.
