SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - A surfer and a pair of kayakers nearly became a snack for a massive whale off the coast of California, a video posted on YouTube shows.
The video, posted by Barb Roettger, shows the surfer and kayakers paddling in relatively calm water when suddenly a large humpback whale breaches between Roettger and the surfer and kayakers. Just before the whale breached, hundreds of small fish can be seen jumping out of the water.
"A pod of humpback whales has been hanging out of the Santa Cruz coast, noshing on anchovies that flock to the area to feed on planton," Roettger wrote on YouTube. "The woman found herself in the middle of a feeding frenzy called lunge feeding, which occurs when whales herd anchovies and shoot straight up out of the water with their mouth wide open to catch the fish."
