I saw a blue whale from a plane once. We took off from LAX and curved out over the ocean. This was about ten years ago. There is no mistaking the silhouette of a blue whale from above. I was so shocked I couldn't even shout out for everyone to look. They are so beautiful. The sight lifted my heart and gave me hope for our troubled planet. I hope many more people will see them.
Great job yelling out the plane for others! I would have been screaming to tell the others! That’s a very busy shipping lane where you saw him or her and incredibly lucky-congrats!
@@saturn722 What does all that have to do with blue whales? I was thinking of the ways we have damaged our environment and driven so many creatures to extinction. That is the troubled planet I was speaking of.
Yeah, you’re right. I removed my comment. Unfortunately the more people there are the more food and planet resources we need. Im pretty sure it’s not as bad as the media makes it sound. In fact just in the last 50+ years man has recognized the importance of conservation and have actually saved many species from extinction. Conservation laws have been in place for many different animals and have prevented their demise. Life can be very resilient as long as man acts responsibly.
@@plica06 and because whaling decimated whale populations. Protections have helped but as very large animals living in a very spaced out habitat it has taken a long time for those protections to significantly help the populations.
I just turned 75 and in the early seventies, in the Navy, while crossing the Atlantic we steamed parallel to two huge ‘fin whales’-could really tell if they were Blue Whales but they were really big.
Simply incredible to see these huge animals coming up for food over and over again! I am so happy that it is possible to get so close to them with the drones. They provide an intimate peek into so many living creatures in the oceans! Thank you so much Domenici and crew and all involved in sharing this with us.
Just mesmerizing to see these massive animals in their element feeding. You don't realize how big they are. Thank you for letting us watch something that most of us will never see in our lifetime ❤
They are so graceful for such large animals. The twists & arches as they lunge, sometimes upside down when they turn back into the sea. Stunning drone footage. Just breathtaking.
Speaking of which, I've wondered where the whale's eyes were... a tongue-twister, I realize... although I truly couldn't spot any eyes on them - as I wanted to see whether they looked happy and expressive - but alas, all mouth and no peepers. Are Lunging Blue Whales by any chance blind, or am I? If it is me who's missing something, may I please trouble you to add a time-stamp into a reply, in which the whale's eyes are visible. Thanks.

So beautiful...at age 15, I wanted to study these magnificent beings. At age 65, I am just as amazed by how awesome they are...and that we humans have the pleasure to live side by side. Please let them live, let us humans never harm them (and all their ocean brethren); they can and will outlive homo sapiens! Thank you for this awsome footage.
What a truly remarkable video, capturing perhaps one of the rarest moments, of the world's largest animal feeding.! Blue Whales are the most magnificent creatures on Earth..Thank you for sharing this incredible footage..🐳☮️❤️
I’m a long time scuba diver and have seen a lot of cool stuff underwater…but NOTHING compares to this big-boy…I dream of seeing a blue, please, please please whale gods
So incredibly perfect. Beyond beautiful. I'm in tears as I'm just in awe of these majestic and peaceful beings and grateful that we get to share the planet with them.
This is lovely footage. Really breathtaking. The title makes it seem like this behavior/manner of feeding is rare. I suspect catching it on film is rare. That said, I did click, and was not disappointed....
This is amazing on so many levels. Just to see a Blue Whale feeding is a once in a lifetime thrill. These marvelous videos are only possible with the perfection of drones and tiny cameras with great resolution, people willing to spend the time to find these monsters, and a whole lot of good fortune. Thank you. It also shows that bait balls are no defence against a Blue Whale.

Such a beautiful video of a magnificent animal 🐋truly one of my all time favorites 😂 love the music 🎶 that was playing in it also. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of photography with us 🥰👍👏
Watching this I was transfixed...mesmerized! I didn't realize how absolutely gorgeous & perfect blue whales are. If I didn't know any better I'd have thought this was like CGI or manipulated somehow because those whales are like...so perfect! The beautiful lines running down from the tip of their mouths & down their bodies, their graceful movements, omg. Also, I know they somehow filter out all that water they take in when feeding like that, but I just couldn't see where it went. This clip was like otherworldly.
*😯😳😍🥰 OH MY! This is such a rare capture! I saw the clip on IG and ran here wondering if you have a channel! OOoooh Myyyy! Not even disturbing this glorious being whilst it feeds. My flabbers are ghasted!*
Yes thank you. Every day, I find reasons to fall in love with this planet, & the incredible large & wee beasties who live here. Brilliantly put together, so worth watching ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is absolutely amazing to see. I love how you can see the clouds of krill... And how slender they look until they gulp all of that water. Just BEAUTIFUL 😍
Just amazing footage and mesmerizing such grace and beauty I am left with tingly sensations the way this video was put together thank you what a grand experience..
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! The music added a sense of THE GOD who created them!!! All of this giving me a much needed space of time centered in HIS PEACE, BEAUTY OF HIS CREATION, and FEELING OF HIS LOVE is more than I AM ABLE TO DESCRIBE OR THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR OUR GOD AND PRAISE HIM FOREVER FOR THIS ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE LIKE I’M RIGHT THERE IN HEAVEN WATCHING IT FROM THERE IN GOD’S PRESENCE RIGHT BESIDE HIM!!!

Rom 1:20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
Very impressive! Calories per lunge is hugely important. The amount of energy needed to open their gigantic mouths combined with the increased drag means they could burn more calories than they gain if the krill patch isn't large enough. Luckily for us, we live in a time where the sea produces massive amounts of their food. This has allowed their greatly increased sizes to evolve in a relatively short period of time. That and the extinction of mega predators like the megaldon shark and Livyatan whale. Great footage.
Not so. Reports of Blue whale and humpbacks off Australia show some very lean whales that have not been able to adequately feed. 400,000 of tonnes of krill were netted from the Southern ocean by factory boats in 2020 and with climate change the great south polar current is speeding up affecting habitat for wales. Scientists are very worried about the impact on baleen whales from increasing krill capture.

I don't know how many viewers realize how unbelievably RARE an Opportunity this is, to film a BLUE whale feeding. Excellent video quality too!
Makes me cry, this is so beautiful.
It doesnt happen! Drones have created amazing moments
It's only rare because we didn't have drones before. We'll probably see way more of this.
@@plica06 and because whaling decimated whale populations. Protections have helped but as very large animals living in a very spaced out habitat it has taken a long time for those protections to significantly help the populations.
They are so intelligent. Thank the Lord they are now protected. We share this planet and must protect all life.
Thank you. I am 74 and feel privileged to have seen such magnificent creatures before I die.
I just turned 75 and in the early seventies, in the Navy, while crossing the Atlantic we steamed parallel to two huge ‘fin whales’-could really tell if they were Blue Whales but they were really big.
It is certainly a privilege, you're very lucky. The immense power yet majesty these whales possess is truly something else
It’s one of the things on my bucket list too!❤
One of them appeared from Sea
near Maddalena Island (Sardegna)
not far from the coast...
It was a balena azzurra, beautyful 😊

This brought tears to my eyes. How incredible!! Thank you for putting this together and sharing Dom!
Love you Anna!
Me too, almost can't stand how beautiful this is, if that makes sense.
I’m glad I’m not the only one. 😢They are truly magnificent.
@@DolphinDroneDom Ill go with you next time, if you want? I take pictures with a Nikon..not nearly as good as the drone but lovely as well!
I’m breathless! Stunning photography.
Just so amazing how they line up their bodies in direction of the krill 😮 just so lovely to watch....and the music was so fitting 🐳 x
No words to describe how wondrous
and mind blowing this is!
Thanks for the truly beautiful footage.
Absolutely, astoundingly EPIC footage. Seeing and unseeing the orange pockets of krill WOW. Spectacular! 💙🤙🏼
That’s crazy how they turn on their side to get the absolute largest mouth opening possible. Killer footage!
They are so graceful for such large animals. The twists & arches as they lunge, sometimes upside down when they turn back into the sea. Stunning drone footage. Just breathtaking.

Wow,wow,wow,just plain WOW!. Ty so much for this! So unbelievably large and elegant.
Wow! I don’t think I’ve seen blue whales lunge feeding before, just humpbacks. Stunning footage! Thanks for sharing 💙💙💙
Glad you enjoyed! It’s super super rare to witness a Blue surface feeding!
that's because there are tens of thousands of humpbacks while only a few dozen or hundred Blue ones.
Indeed, so beautiful, so rare. Thank you for sharing this.
That might be the most Wholesome video i’ve seen so humbling and inspiring
Spectacular!!!😃 Amazing to watch!! & the music was great too!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

There are no words to adequately express how incredibly beautiful and awe inspiring this brief glimpse is …
When I was a child I read a book about Blue Whales. Read it 3 times. I thank God they’re not extinct, and I got to see this video.
Qual era o livro?
