Humpback Whale Hunting Technique For Herring Using Bubble Curtains

Description:

• The humpback whales in this video demonstrate their intelligent hunting technique used to catch herring.
• The whales use a sophisticated way of working together to achieve maximum success when hunting for schooling fish.
• The humpbacks drive the herring to the surface where they can then concentrate them by releasing columns of air bubbles which act as a barrier.
• The rising bubbles are coordinated by the whales so that they surround the herring school.
• The pod leader then signals for the whales all to ascend with their mouths open, to ingest the large quantities of herring.

Migaloo (White Humpback Whale of Australia) Cetacographer

Migaloo Facts:

• Migaloo is an adult male humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae).
• Migaloo is the only properly documented white humpack whale in the world.
• Although Migaloo is suspected to be an albino humpback whale, there is no clear proof of this diagnosis.
• It is therefore better to describe Migaloo as a hypo-pigmented humpback whale, until confirmatory information is available.
• Migaloo is a member of the east Australian humpback whale population.
• Migaloo's name means "White Fella" in the Australian Aboriginal language - the naming is based on advice from Aboriginal elders in the Hervey Bay area, Queeensland.
• Migaloo was first spotted & photographed on the 28th June, 1991, near Byron Bay.
• He is believed to have an age in the mid 20's (2009).
• Every year Migaloo migrates to humpback breeding grounds along the Great Barrier Reef region off north-eastern Australia.
