🎥: Gone Whale Watching San Diego · A breathtaking moment of a blue whale performing a surface lunge feed, expertly captured by Captain Kyle @bluelifewild off the coast of San Diego during the last blue whale season. Lunge feeding is a specialized foraging strategy where blue whales accelerate toward dense krill patches with their mouths open, engulfing up to 110 metric tons of water and prey in a single gulp. Their expandable throat pleats allow for massive intake, while their baleen plates eff

‘’Lunge feeding’’ an impressive and powerful way that whales use to feed. It is common among several large baleen whales, particularly rorquals, which include humpbacks, blue whales, fin whales, and sei whales. These whales have expandable throat pleats (the wrinkles you see on humpbacks’ throats) that allow their mouths to balloon open and engulf huge volumes of water and prey, like seen in this clip. To meet their enormous energy needs, humpbacks consume up to 1,500 pounds (700 kilograms) of k

"Surface lunge feeding is a special type of feeding behavior displayed by Humpback Whales in many parts of the world, but in Southern California it is extremely rare. The occasional one-off lunge does happen from time to time, but consistent and repetitive lunge feeding is something I’ve only seen on 3 other occasions in San Diego waters. That is what made yesterday so special! We had one of the largest concentrations of bait I’ve ever seen in our local San Diego waters, and the Humpbacks gorged
