EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the majestic beauty of a Humpback whale in all its glory. With its mouth wide open and executing a lateral lunge, the whale is engaged in surface feeding, showcasing its expandable throat grooves as it filters krill, plankton, amphipods, and copepods from the water. This incredible moment was captured by M. Watson in the Inside Passage of Alaska.
The Humpback whale, scientifically known as Megaptera novaeangliae, is a true marvel of nature with its massive size and graceful movements underwater. In this image, you can see every detail of the whale's behavior as it feeds on marine invertebrates near Frederick Sound.
As one of the most iconic marine mammals in existence, Humpback whales are known for their distinctive songs and acrobatic breaches. This particular individual demonstrates exceptional feeding skills with precision and grace.
Whether you're a wildlife enthusiast or simply appreciate the wonders of nature, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and inspire awe for these magnificent creatures that roam our oceans. Witnessing such moments reminds us of the importance of conservation efforts to protect these endangered species for future generations to enjoy.
