Narwhals in sea ice, shot from an ultralight plane on floats in the
Arctic Bay of Baffin Island. It took six weeks and a series of disasters
before the moment when a group of males taking a breath within a
teardrop area of water surrounded by a pattern of melting ice.By

The Humpback Whale has a more detailed feeding system than any other whale out there. They feature grooves on the throat that allow it to open up and to expand when they eat. This way they can take in huge amounts of water. The filtering system keeps the food and pushes the water out. They are seasonal feeders and then they cut down to almost nothing when they migrate. They will consume from 4,000 to 5,500 pounds of food daily if it is available.
