Image 4 of 4: A very close encounter with a surface lunge feeding Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae). The whale is on its right side, and in this final stage of feeding, the mouth closes and hundreds of gallons are ejected through the baleen filter. Here the ventral grooves that were fully expanded are collapsing. The long left pectoral fin can also be seen.

Image 2 of 4: A very close encounter with a surface lunge feeding Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae). The whale is on its right side, mouth is open, and the pink soft palate of the roof of the mouth can be seed fringed with bushy baleen. The little red organisms on the surface in between the jaws are krill (Thysanoessa spinifera) preparing to move up the food chain.
