Humpback Whales Hunting Fish | Ireland's Wild Coast

Every summer, Humpback Whales arrive off the west coast of Ireland. Humbacks have adapted unique behaviors: bubblenetting, lunge feeding, slapping, breaching. While these whales now move freely around Ireland's coasts, they were once threatened by whaling. The cessation of whaling in these regions has been a remarkable story of conservation success.
