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.
