VOLUME UP! The Whale that sounds like a lightsaber. One of the rarest and most bizarre whale vocalisations ever recorded — and yes, it sounds like something straight out of Star Wars. But this isn’t sci-fi. It’s real. It’s wild. It’s the unique sound from a Dwarf Minke Whale. Filmed just last week at the Ribbon Reefs on the Great Barrier Reef with High Standard Tourism Operator Ocean Quest Divers Den, this rarely captured sound marks the start of the Dwarf Minke Whale migration season — a natura

“Bob the Minke Whale,” as the 25-foot-long creature has been dubbed, was first spotted on March 31, near the Harbor Breeze charter boats and the Aquarium of Long Beach. The second day, it meandered by Shoreline Village. The third and fourth days, it was further away from the harbor entrance, back by the Catalina Express. The 25-foot whale doesn’t seem sick or injured, but the hope is that the whale can soon find its way out to sea. Read more at the link in our bio. ✏️: Laylan Connelly, Orange Co

Unfortunately, this minke whale never stood a chance against these apex predators. At least 30 orcas from multiple family groups worked together to hunt the minke whale, eventually sharing the prey after the hunt was over. Minke whales are the smallest baleen whale species found in North American waters. The footage, captured by Evan Brodsky and Monterey Bay Whale Watch (@monterey_bay_whale_watch) on April 2, is only the 6th time in almost 40 years that killer whales have been recorded successfu
