Busch observed an extraordinary interaction between these species.

“The dolphins were swimming right in front of the whales, and appeared to lead them to the (bait fish),” he said.

As Busch’s drone soared overhead, he witnessed the humpback whales lunging out of the water together three different times, gobbling up tons of bait.

Fascinating to see the dolphins helping the whales, even though I’m well aware that it happens every day, it is wonderful to get to see it, to see how God’s nature can work together. Too bad we can’t take some lessons from this.
