Humpback Whales Hunting Techniques

The video, presented by Lucy McNeel for National Geographic, explores the hunting techniques of humpback whales in the North Atlantic. Using special cameras, the team captures the whales' bubble net feeding strategy and a rare behavior of scouring the ocean floor to flush out prey. This footage provides scientists with a unique perspective on whale hunting methods, offering a whale's-eye view of these extraordinary behaviors.

What is the primary focus of the National Geographic expedition discussed in the video?

• Exploring the Amazon rainforest

• Studying the migration of birds

• Investigating the hunting techniques of humpback whales

• Researching the effects of climate change on polar bears

How do humpback whales use bubbles in their hunting strategy?

• To scare away predators

• To communicate with other whales

• To create a barrier that traps fish

• To navigate through the ocean

What happens to the fish once they are trapped by the bubble net?

• They are caught by fishermen

• They escape through the bubbles

• They swim deeper into the ocean

• They are consumed by the whales

What unique perspective did the criam cameras provide to scientists?

• A close-up of the fish species in the area

• A detailed map of the ocean floor

• A whale's eye view of their hunting behavior

• A view of the ocean from a bird's perspective

What is the newly observed hunting technique of humpback whales?

• Hunting in packs like wolves

• Jumping out of the water to catch birds

• Using sound waves to stun fish

• Scouring the ocean floor to flush out prey
