Dozens and dozens of sea creatures were seen feeding in California and viewers are calling it “off the charts.”
More than 65 humpback whales were caught on video lunge-feeding off the coast, according to an Oct. 2 news release by the Monterey Bay Whale Watch.
The mammals displayed an “incredible feeding frenzy” for four hours across a 1-mile area, the organization said.
The experienced crew members with the group even said it was the best lunge feeding they’d seen in their lives, according to the post.
The video shows the huge animals propel themselves out of the water with open mouths to catch fish.
The humpbacks will “gulp” a large amount of food and their throats expand with each ton of water and fish, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
They feed on small fish and krill, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Watchers were lucky enough to see the animals up close and personal along with hundreds of sea lions, the video showed.
Monterey is about a 120-mile drive south of San Francisco.
