Maurakis, Ph.D. Adaptation of aerial drone view of bubble curtain created in a Fibonacci pattern by a team of three Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). The Humpbacks used the curtain to trap and feed on Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) in Antarctic Ocean, March 2020. Modified from video with permission by Richard Sidey, filmmaker and nature photographer, www.richardsidey.com. To date, Humpback and Bryde’s whales are the only cetaceans known to use a Fibonacci pattern bubble curtain to feed.
