Great article about the feeding habits of humpback whales. Like bubble net feeding the ability to herd salmon is not innate. It is a complex technique that must be taught and acquired. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2019/10/humpback-whales-herd-fins-salmon/ #humpbackwhale #bubblenetfeeding #nationalgeographic

With only 400 to 450 animals remaining, the North Atlantic right whale is one of the world’s most endangered whale species. By the end of the 19th century, commercial whalers had hunted right whales in the Atlantic to the brink of extinction. Even though they are no longer hunted, human activities are still the species’ greatest threat. Most deaths of North Atlantic right whales are caused by ship strikes and entanglement in fishing gear. On a happier note: their cousins, the Southern right whales, are doing much better with a current population of about 10.000 animals.
