Eden Whale's Trap – Extraordinary Footage Captured On Camera (Video)

This is the amazing moment where an Eden whale implements its unique feeding strategy. The moment was caught on camera via a drone flying by off the Gulf of Thailand. It shows how the whale traps fish in its mouth.

In this footage - part of an episode on the BBC documentary 'A Perfect Planet' - a huge Eden's whale is seen treading water and keeping its mouth open to create a flow that pulls fish into its mouth. Posted online by wildlife filmmaker Bertie Gregory, the clip shows a number of fish disappearing into the whale's mouth.
