Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeanglia) cooperative feeding using a bubble net, Tenakee Inlet, Southeast Alaska, USA.

This feeding group clearly illustrates a typical formation with one lead whale ascending vertically out of the water and the rest arranged laterally around it. Sometimes there was more than one lead whale, but quite often it was just one.
