The scientific name is Megaptera novaeangliae, and they are usually found in polar and tropical waters. You can see them in the Atlantic, Arctic, and Pacific Oceans. However, they are also resident species in some parts of the Bering Sea and the waters around Antarctica. They are migratory species that can be found in deep and coastal waters.

Whales often eat by creating a circle of foam. They lie on the water's surface and swim in a circle while hitting the water with their tails. This creates an effective bubble circle that captures fish in one place. With their prey unable to move, the whale dives beneath the circle and swims to the surface with its mouth wide open. This is a very clever hunting method in water and highly effective!
