Here's another shot of a Bryde's Whale feeding on small fish from our boat trip in the Gulf of Thailand.

This is good timing, Nate. I can imagine this would make a cool video. What's intriguing to me is that from this angle the mandible looks oversized compared to the upper jaw. With only a dozen visible in the mouth, I'd be curious to know how many fish the whale actually got with this haul. Fun stuff.

Nice illustration of the feeding action we encountered Nate-quite amazing to see let alone photograph. devil
