well we’re spending our morning watching

well we’re spending our morning watching one of the most exciting biological

one of the most exciting biological phenomenon any place to be seen the

phenomenon any place to be seen the bubble net feeding behavior of humpback

bubble net feeding behavior of humpback

bubble net feeding behavior of humpback whales it is exciting in the extreme you

got a group of animals all traveling

got a group of animals all traveling together they know where the prey is

together they know where the prey is

together they know where the prey is before they dive or have some sense of

before they dive or have some sense of

before they dive or have some sense of it single animal breaks off from the

it single animal breaks off from the group dive down it starts spiraling

group dive down it starts spiraling

group dive down it starts spiraling upwards and blowing that blowing air out

upwards and blowing that blowing air out

upwards and blowing that blowing air out of its blowhole which rise up and

of its blowhole which rise up and

of its blowhole which rise up and creates that cylinder of bubbles now

creates that cylinder of bubbles now

creates that cylinder of bubbles now almost certainly they’re doing that

almost certainly they’re doing that

almost certainly they’re doing that above where the fish are located because

above where the fish are located because

above where the fish are located because of the constraints on bubbles traveling

of the constraints on bubbles traveling

of the constraints on bubbles traveling to the surface it can’t be that deep

to the surface it can’t be that deep

to the surface it can’t be that deep when they deploy it and the fish tend to

when they deploy it and the fish tend to

when they deploy it and the fish tend to be located below that depth so the

be located below that depth so the

be located below that depth so the remaining animals I have to force that

remaining animals I have to force that

remaining animals I have to force that prey up into that pre-existing bubble

prey up into that pre-existing bubble

prey up into that pre-existing bubble net has already been deployed and so

net has already been deployed and so

net has already been deployed and so what seems that happen is one individual

what seems that happen is one individual

what seems that happen is one individual will vocalize in an effort to drive the

fish up towards the surface while the remaining animals seem to flank that

remaining animals seem to flank that

remaining animals seem to flank that group of herring that school of herring

group of herring that school of herring

group of herring that school of herring tain them corral them as they’re being

tain them corral them as they’re being

tain them corral them as they’re being pushed into the existing bubble net and

pushed into the existing bubble net and

pushed into the existing bubble net and then once that happens just before they

then once that happens just before they

then once that happens just before they break the surface when it occurs they

break the surface when it occurs they

break the surface when it occurs they are the whales actually come from the

are the whales actually come from the

are the whales actually come from the outside of the bubble that convene in
