| Caption | A pod of Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) engage in bubble-net feeding near Catherine Island, in Alaska's Chatham Strait, on the afternoon of July 20, 2019. This behavior involves a group of whales circling underwater and releasing bubbles in a ring pattern, making a fence that corrals small fish. The whales then lunge up through the fish ball, each whale taking a gulp. | |
