Clever Humpback Whale Pops Up for a Snack
↠Have you seen how killer whales are changing the Arctic: • How Killer Whales are ...
Getting hungry can be a problem, especially for a creature the size of a humpback whale. 🐋Fortunately, these marine mammals are also incredibly intelligent and adept at learning new foraging techniques. Follow marine biologist and filmmaker Rick Rosenthal as he captures a lone humpback engaging in extraordinary behavior: turning a salmon hatchery into a quick and filling meal, albeit one worth a staggering $13 million! 💰 But what’s good news for a whale spells disaster for the fish, not to mention the hatchery owner . . .

I had to watch this again. I am impressed with this humpback's remarkable intelligence. She knows exactly when to come back each year. She also keeps this secret to herself. She then wiggles through a small hole and eats up all the fish in the small pen then wiggles back out. Kudos to the salmon farmer for not hurting her.
Yeah I am to but as for the people they may have lost their jobs. So this might be the last time she comes back.
She even kept the secret to herself so she doesn't have to share with other whales. Very smart.
yeah she's like ey guys I'm gonna take a quick break brb >=]
im sure she will take a her calf one day
She is really clever.

Straight To The Point with Der Bean Person what.
The hatchery should start offering tours or ask for supporting donations to assist with the cost. This is a wonderful "once in a lifetime" moment that should - despite the cost- be considered a great moment in nature. Thank you so much for sharing and really showing the world how important your work is to both humans and nature.
Hi I'm an ex employee of hidden falls. We kind of do if you get there ,but its also better to keep the environment relatively free of people .

So incredibly intelligent! And She comes back the same time every year that's just something else!♡
Lmfao they knew she was coming and instead of taking counter measures they just put on a wetsuit and film her eating all their salmon.
logic be like
That whale's been there every year they said. The hatchery owner must be dumber than the whale. Are they just firing the manager every year right before the whale comes back?
@@SDZ675 I bet they do fire the manager every year. I'm betting they take the loss out of someone's pocket rather than spend any money to prepare for this predictable event.

My neighbor: a deer ate my plants. Hatchery manager: a whale ate $13 million of my salmon.
😆
This is ILLEGAL to shoot the whale while deer...
Underrated comment 😂
She is a big girl she has to get her weight in food. I mean is it that much of a surprise it would have happened eventually that whales or other wildlife took a good chunk of the salmon it was their food source first we have been killing them off by taking it and by using our boats in the waters they live in. Kind of arrogant to think they're reserved only for humans or be upset when this is nature being nature.
Yeah, deer cleans out my garden, killing some of the plants, slugs eat all the leaves, rabbits eat clovers and leaves, I ask myself, why do I water these plants? LOL
Hatchery manager: “I’m never gonna financially recover from this”

Hi ex-employee here Jhon is very tolerent of the whal. We where doing research to reduce predation in outher ways to recoup costs.

I think the hatchery can still make money from whale watching tourism.
Insurance
Fuck the hatchery
@@danieltijerina4451 nah fuck the whale . Just one fucking whale ain't worthy enough to lose millions of dollars and millions of people's food and livelihood . Fuck that whale . 😁
Watched this a few years ago. This needs a part 2. Does she still go there today ?
I'm curious too.
Bees are like: "Now you know how we feel...."
The hatchery manager looks like he’s about to cry
No wonder
Probably government programme tax payers paying
He was actually crying behind those glasses 🕶️
@@dannyclarkemacomber7022 I was thinking about that myself, but wondered if the government would just be like 🤷 I really felt for the guy tho
Either insurance scam and he is in on it or more gov tax funds down the drain.

Glad you enjoyed it! Stay tuned because there's more coming up!
@@terramater I subscribed it as I found it.
Fish Farmer grabs harpoon: hope you enjoyed your last meal!
This is one of my favorite videos. I revisit it every couple of years. This whale and her intelligence take my breath away, every time I see it.
Hi Clarice! That’s great to hear! It’s a really cool topic and whales are awesome!
"Most of them make it" *Cue otter* *Cue eagle* *Cue overly smart whale* "Well, a few of them make it?"
“Cue *BALD* eagle”
Sorry this Cue is getting long and Salmon's out of stock now. Meanwhile fishing boat guy ⛵??
You know there's probably a lot of ways to scare the whale off but that manager is probably like "Worth it. Investors there's nothing I can do. Unavoidable expense. Susan is... I mean, the whale is a protected species. Nothing I can do."
“But a Whale doesn’t care about Money” tend to not disbelieve
lol
To those who run the hatchery thank you so much for feeding this magnificent whale. The food in the ocean is after the all theirs.
Nothing owns anything on earth why would a whale own it
@@T0YCHEST Yeah like we humans own nothing but still keep on destroying animal habitats.
Can you explain the last sentence you said? I don't understand what you meant.
I think you fundamentally just do not understand what nature is.
whale: finally my favorite restaurant is open again! --- they can make an Instagram account for her so she can become an influencer and advertise the salmon. quality, whale approved.
what an easy whale watching spot. Good idea
😄 It would definitely be a great place to spot her every year, true that!
They could make a fortune charging people to go out on the walkways for it.
@@dingbat1966able hell, I'd go, I'm thinking about it now!😇
No kidding, my mom is paying a few thousand to see the whale's from her cruise
she knows the release times like what i can’t even remember the opening and closing times of my local supermarket which i visit every day lol
😆
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Same 😂😂😂😂
Relevance. This is probably the best and easiest and most reliable meal she gets all year long. If your local grocery store had a 1-day only free food bonanza available only to you every year on the same day, I'm pretty sure you'd remember that day.
@@FlyingDwarfman True, but a whale doesn't have a calendar to see which day it is.
"So I stole from the humans, and..." "You're crazy, Hector!" "No, no no, let me finish. So I stole 13 million dollars worth of fish, and the fucking workers applauded me for it! I stole more than most of them will make in their whole damn lives and they fucking thanked me for it!" "Yeah, I don't believe you..." "Seriously man, there's dozens of them! I'll take you with me next time!"
Is no one gonna talk about how brave that cameraman is getting down there when he knows there is a giant humpback whale under him 3:37 i would not been able to do the same
No because whales do not oppose a serious threat towards human.
@@heneedsomemilk2877 still..
The whale knows where he is an what he's doing, he's perfectly safe so long as he's in eye shot of her. If he got below or behind her, that might get dangerous - because a fluke slap from a big whale can cause enough water pressure to stun you. Some whales hunt by that method..
"No one could have imagined what happens next" Camera man in the water: ...
Yeah, I kept expecting the camera man to get swallowed and then spat out, bruised and half-drowned, but still alive, sort of a modern-day Jonah.
Yeah, I was hoping for a diver chomp too!
Whale: "so long, and thanks for all the fish"
She learned from the dolphins. Lol 🖖😊💕
ahh a classy comment ;)
That whale is one sassy frood
oh my god irl
Whale: thanks for the appetizer, now the main course please
Such a beautiful and smart creature. So graceful.
Everyone: whales are giants, calm, endangered species. Me (after watching this): apparantly whales can be a savage thug too
And not every single one is worth saving
Watch orcas hunt....SAVAGE
D S yeah, but they are fucking awesome, they hunt sharks, for me, they are the best carnivores
@@TruckTaxiMoveIt Especially this one is worth saving because it is so intelligent to learn new behaviors
@D S Dolphins are a type of whale. So orcas, a type of dolphin, are also a type of whale.

Ex Luck? Pfffttt just whale for it
The Humpback whale knows the yearly release times of the salmon and goes back right on time every year . That , to !e , is amazing
Another noteworthy point is the whale is smart and agile enough to avoid accidentally eating the cameraman.

WA hopefully will be my final resting spot.

Humans create salmon nursery Whale: so I took that personally.
$13m is a giant exaggeration. They are counting up the street value of the when fully grown up. Less than 1% of those salmon fry would have made it to adulthood.
That whale made sure of that.
More than 1% that's the point of those hatcheries
One can never lose something one will never have. The;y were way gone before they ever reached their street value.
If they were raised in a salmon farm then they could recover closer to 100%. But AK doesn't like salmon farms...so there aren't any there.
1% - 5% in wild. Upto 95% in hatchery.
