The Day of the Whales lasted several days. Swarms of krill filled the ocean so the humpbacks spent days in the area feeding. This whale came within 20 feet of our zodiac, but at not time did we feel concerned that the whale might hurt us. They were aware of our presence and did not seem to care.
It's hard to believe that these large whales eat krill, a shrimp-like crustacean that can be found worldwide.They use the baleen in their mouths to sieve the krill from large mouthfuls of seawater.
