Here's how whales hunt for prey by creating 'networks' of air bubbles: the event was captured in a truly amazing video.

These humpback whales blow dense "webs" of air bubbles around their prey to capture them, swimming in a spiral from the bottom up, an impressive sight filmed by researchers from the University of Hawaiʻi.

The video that sees them at work was filmed through cameras, drones and sensors connected to the animals with suction cups, tools that made it possible to immortalize the event from two different angles: from above and underwater, in the context of a study that seeks to understand the causes of the decrease in specimens of the species, to find out if climate change is also involved.

The data collected allowed us to understand how humpback whales act to feed and how often they must do so before returning to the warmer waters of Hawaii. In fact, these are migratory whales that visit Alaska in the summer to stock up on food and energy, before the reproductive period that takes place in Hawaii in the winter.

Here the video which sees them intent on creating bubble networks by cooperating with each other.
