Humpback whales are a marvel to see and if you are lucky enough to swim with them, it can be a spiritual experience. Gentle giants. I swam with them in Tonga twice and the Silver Banks in the Dominican Republic. It's magical.
Close Crop Baleen
These whales were bubble-net feeding off the coast of British Columbia. I cropped this in to show the baleen in their mouths that catch the krill.
