In the Feeding Grounds of the Humpback Whales | Ocean Documentary In the warm Pacific just off the coast of Maui, a humpback whale mother has paired and given birth to her baby. Now the time has come, whereby she has to take her baby on a journey to the feeding grounds off the coast of Alaska. The mother has already lost 30% of its weight, but she still has to constantly feed her calf. Their destination is in Alaska's south, where the whale mother will hunt herrings with the other humpback whales. Together they create so-called air nets and surround the herrings: This is known as bubble net feeding. Orcas go fishing here for herrings, too, but also hunt down whale calves.
