As the group circles a school of small fish such as salmon, krill, or herring they use a team effort to disorient and corral the fish into a net of bubbles.[3] One whale will typically begin to exhale out of their blowhole beneath the surface at the school of fish to begin the process.[3] More whales will also start to blow bubbles while continuing to circle their prey. They corral the fish into a tight circle while creating a net of bubbles to surround the fish and keep them from escaping.
Here's a view of humpbacks eating when D4 and I were in Boston in 2015.
Link to videoNote how the birds know something's going on. They begin to circle when the ocean water's color turns green-ish because of the bubbles.
It was a pretty remarkable thing to see.

I wonder if it sits for hours on a big high branch while it's friends and family laugh at it for not being able to pluck up the courage to take the big dive, and worries about whether it's feathers will all come off when it hits the surface and it will look all stupid and have it's willy exposed.
I suspect not. It doesn't look as though it spends much time worrying about pointless shit.

I did look through this thread, I did not see this posted, but if this was done here before I apologize.
About a species of bug that gets eaten by a toad and they are pooped out alive

Makes you wonder if there’s an alternative ending to the Jonah and the whale story.

This is hilarious! What's so comical is that the ram seems to have shoved the guy -- who was peaceably fishing and minding his own business -- for no apparent reason. He was like, "There's a guy fishing. I think I'll butt him into the water. Maybe knock his hat off."
