A sea whale surges forward, its massive mouth gaping wide, engulfing a significant portion of a shimmering bait ball in an instant. This awe-inspiring act showcases the ocean’s gentle giants in a moment of precision and power. A reminder that even in the vast blue, survival hinges on the delicate balance between beauty and brutality. (Via: @miguellazevedo) #whale #ocean #viral | Scary Underwater

In 2011, scientists recorded a previously unknown trap feeding strategy in whales: they simply opened their mouths to let fish swim in. | New Scientist

Footage by bluelifewild // Blue whale vocalizations are very low frequency sounds with some in the 15 Hz range. These tones characteristically travel long distances due to the high power, but also due to very long-wavelengths (over 300 feet for 15 Hz). This enables their songs to be heard thousands of miles from the source. We can assume that the projection distance is important (Nature can be extravagant, but she is never wasteful), but we can only speculate why they need to broadcast their son
