A hungry blue whale lunge feeding on krill. These small shrimplike crustaceans are perhaps the most well known type of zooplankton in the ocean, and provide a vital food source for baleen whales. A single blue whale can eat 40 million krill - or 8,000 lbs of krill a day!

Breathtaking footage of yesterday’s Lunge Feeding Humpback Whale 🐋✨🌊 Lunge feeding is a spectacular feeding behavior exhibited by humpback whales (and some other baleen whale species). During this feeding technique, humpbacks swim toward a school of prey (like krill or small fish), opening their mouths wide to engulf large volumes of water and food. They use their baleen plates to filter out the water while retaining the prey. Lunge feeding typically occurs in a burst of speed, with the whale

‘’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
