Whale Feasting on Sardines

Species: Bryde's Whale | Location: Wild Coast, South Africa

By Mark Gottlieb

Whales show up in great quantities each June to feed on the sardines that come up the east coast of South Africa. Here is a Bryde's whale lunging up through a ball of sardines filling his mouth full. A few lucky sardines are escaping before his mouth closes.

Check out Mark's website to see more of his photography.

About The Photographer

Cropped mark gottlieb may 2012

I love all of God's creations - from the earth's amazing formations - to the incredible animals that roam on it. I set out a few times a year to capture much of that in my photography.
