The scene of humpback whale hunting for prey in the enchanting wild world shows that the whalees use the strategy of creating smart bubble nets to push the molluscs that the whale eats up to the water surface through the air bubble network.
Video of the herd of hunting for artistic prey of thereaper catfish preserved and explored by conservationist and explorer Richard Sidey in Wanaka, New Zealand, recorded in a research project in the Arctic.
It can be seen that 3 blurred lines emerge in the blue sea before combining together to create a white bubble spiral. After that, the 4 humpback whalees floated onto the water surface, exuding air through the water fountain and diving down. The video then moved to another spiral created by the two whalees.
The humpback whale wels the molluscs or other fish inside the round bubble net blown from the whale's foam holes. When the elephants rise to the water surface, there will be fish trapped in the bubble net and thanks to that, the giant humpback elephants can enjoy their meals.
The humpback whale is up to 16m long and weighs about 36,000kg.
Despite their huge size, the humpback whale is harmless to humans.
During the winter months, this large marine creature leaves the ice of the northern Atlantic and migrates across the UK to warmer locations. The right-footed right whale can be seen migrating once or twice a year in the Hebrides.
"I filmed this scene from a small boat nearby with the researchers. They are scientists focusing on how hurricane-backed whale adapt to warmer oceans in the Arctic" - the author of the video for the hurricane-backed whale hunting for high-class prey shared.
Sidey added: "This fluid collection method is truly a learning technique, not something every whale can do, so the more this technique becomes, the better it gets."
The cameraman who loves to explore the animal world shared: "This is one of the most memorable images and experiences in my wildlife photography career to date."
