Describe the feeding behavior of humpback whales. Why do they employ this type of food capture method?
What will be an ideal response?
Humpback whales feed on small schools of fishes and invertebrates. They feed by first circling the school from below while blowing a screen of bubbles around their food as a trap. Next they come up through the tube of bubbles they have created with mouths open and consume the food. This method of food capture concentrates the prey.
