Richard Vaughan+FollowLost Whale Causes Harbor DramaImagine chilling at Ventura Harbor and suddenly spotting a 35-foot humpback whale doing laps around the docks! This juvenile got separated from its pod during migration and ended up totally lost in the marina. People watched as it bumped into boats, clearly confused. Wildlife experts had to get creative—they played whale songs through underwater speakers overnight, and by morning, the whale had found its way back to the ocean. Wild, right? Nature never fails to surprise! #Science #HumpbackWhale #VenturaHarbor10Share

Zachary Gutierrez+FollowHumpbacks: The Only Whales With This Wild TrickTurns out, only humpback whales can pull off the jaw-dropping ‘bubble-net feeding’ move! Scientists found that their unique flippers let them spin fast enough to trap fish in a ring of bubbles—no other whale comes close. This gives humpbacks a major edge when hunting, especially since they have to pack on fat for those long, food-free trips to Hawaii. How cool is it that their feeding skills are this exclusive? #Science #humpbackwhale #oceanfacts00Share
