Groundbreaking Footage Shows Humpback Whales Creating Bubble Nets To Trap Prey (Video)

This is one of the most amazing things you will see in the wild. A breathtaking new video by the University of Hawaii shows humpback whales swimming in a circular pattern while blowing bubbles to create a “net” to encircle their prey. For the first time ever, the university’s researchers captured this regular whale behavior from an amazing whale’s-point-of-view along with drone footage.

The researchers hope the new footage will shed light on shifts in habitat use and changes in food availability linked to prey depletion and climate change. You can watch video here.
