Whales and Otters near Seward, AK - a podcast by Truth and Legend Productions

Seward Sea Otter photo expedition turns into Humpback Bubble Net Feeding photo shoot.

The sea otter (Enhydra lutris) is a marine mammal native to the coasts of the northern and eastern North Pacific Ocean. Unlike most marine mammals, the sea otter's primary form of insulation is an exceptionally thick coat of fur, the densest in the animal kingdom.

Bubble-net feeding is a unique and complex feeding behavior engaged in by humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). It is one of the few surface feeding behaviors that humpback whales are known to engage in. This type of feeding is often done in groups. Whales can also perform a similar method of surface feeding called lunge feeding but is done solo.
