Description
Open wide...you can see the baleen inside the mouth of this Humpback Whale. The Humpbacks swim underwater and gather their food such as krill in their massive jaws. As they rise up their baleen filtering system sifts out all the water and leave the nutritious food behind.
It is the feeding season in the North Pacific and the Glaucous Gulls are being treated to a feast by the Humpback Whales. Most of the year Humpbacks are more solitary feeders but for about two weeks in the Kenai Fjords of Alaska they team up and use a technique called bubble nets to circle the fish while blowing bubbles to heard them together and the whales rise together to feast. The gulls watch carefully and race to catch the escaping fish as the whales all rise together in a group. Quite a sight to see!
