Alaska Adventure: Kenai Fjords - The Song of the Humpback Whale

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Daniel Glatstein’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

what a spectacular opportunity here in the kinee fjords seeing so many humpback whales up close 11 of them and you see literally hundreds of birds converging on the whales as they're feeding and it reminds me of the gemara and Rosh Hashanah and Allah says created birds and fish to praise His name so we see there's a there's a commonality between the birds and the fish so why why are these birds converging over here well you see the whales are feeding and the whales have an astounding way with which they feed from their blowholes these humpback whales they blow bubbles now what do these bubbles do the bubbles stun the prey so when you see the fluke being raised up that means the the whales are going to dive deep
