OmniTerraImages > A North Atlantic humpback whale, (Megaptera novaeangliae), feeding at the surface on Stellwagon Bank National Marine Sanctuary off Massachusetts. This behavior, known as dragging, is likely a way of letting the sea water strain slowly through the whale's baleen by the backward tilt of its head, leaving the food inside its mouth.

OmniTerraImages > A humpback whale, (Megaptera novaeangliae), lunge feeds through the surface of the water. Its pink roof palette is framed on both sides by the 100s of baleen plates hanging down from the upper jaw. The lower jaw has unhinged, like the jaw of a snake when eating something large, and its ventral pleats have extended to temporarily hold the gulp of fish and sea water.
