Scientists filming in the South Ocean off the coast of New Zealand captured this stunning footage of a blue whale eating a mass of krill. The whales can grow up to the length of three school buses and require a lot of energy to accelerate in the water. They speed up to about 6.7 miles just before consuming the krill, and the act of opening their mouth slows them down to about 1.1 miles per hour. They then have to expend even more energy to get back up to speed. All of this energy spent may lead the whales to be picky eaters, if the mass of krill is too small they may swim through without opening their mouth to feed.

Not sure if your kidding but they do explain why they leave the smaller groups of krill. It's likely not worth the effort. But you could be right also, they might know it's important to leave something to reproduce. Interesting thought

Nah they just don't eat small patches because it would take them more energy to eat than would be provided by the krill.

Again adding human traits to animals when most of them don't have that. It has nothing to do with that, animals would eat their prey out to extinction if they could and they kinda do it.

You telling me you never seen a bus before? You have google, use it.

[@konradgrokopf5288]

Yes, just imagine the pain the dronepilot felt. But still a great shot!

[@TheSlimmshadyy]

Hey Nat Geo Maybe dont put captions on the screen so that we can truly enjoy the beautiful shot.

[@TheClassyArchitect]

It’s a glorious day friends. This is the first thing I’ve ever seen from NatGeo that wasn’t paywalled.

Wondering if the smaller one is the calf of the other...? Very beautiful... hopefully sights like this are around for our future generations ..
