Buckelwale
Leaping out of the water in majestic fashion these acrobatic female humpback whales are a sight to behold. Wildlife photographer, Jon Cornforth, captured these amazing images from just 30 feet from the gentle giants at Frederick Sound near south east Alaska. The amazing pictures also show a sisterhood of 45 ton sea beasts "bubble net" feeding. Plunging up to 500 feet underwater and blow air bubbles in a circular pattern to trap their prey in a "bubble net" so the rest of the 12 strong group can feed. The intelligent band of females feed from huge shoals of herring that spawn in the area by acting as a group. Humpbacks, like all whales are warm blooded mammals. They breed in the warm waters of the Pacific, particularly near the US island of Hawaii in the Winter - and travel to colder northern waters to feed as the ocean temperature gets warmer. s01300
