Getting hungry can be a problem, especially for a creature the size of a humpback whale. 🐋Fortunately, these marine mammals are also incredibly intelligent and adept at learning new foraging techniques. Follow marine biologist and filmmaker Rick Rosenthal as he captures a lone humpback engaging in extraordinary behavior: turning a salmon hatchery into a quick and filling meal, albeit one worth a staggering $13 million! 💰 But what’s good news for a whale spells disaster for the fish, not to mention the hatchery owner . . .

They’re exceptionally intelligent so you’re probably right.
Call the Japanese whalers quick!
Time to higher a killer whale then...
I had to watch this again. I am impressed with this humpback's remarkable intelligence. She knows exactly when to come back each year. She also keeps this secret to herself. She then wiggles through a small hole and eats up all the fish in the small pen then wiggles back out. Kudos to the salmon farmer for not hurting her.
Yeah I am to but as for the people they may have lost their jobs. So this might be the last time she comes back.
Imagine being prisoned for almost 2 years and when your finally free a whale come out of no where and eats you.
😂
Yea, i hate when that happens to me...
"I thought they were trying to keep us in, but it turned out, they were trying to keep IT out"
Slavery. I kno
😂🤣
She even kept the secret to herself so she doesn't have to share with other whales. Very smart.
yeah she's like

Rainbow is a rainbow
Yeah, even I noticed that ... amazing.
The hatchery should start offering tours or ask for supporting donations to assist with the cost. This is a wonderful "once in a lifetime" moment that should - despite the cost- be considered a great moment in nature. Thank you so much for sharing and really showing the world how important your work is to both humans and nature.
Hi I'm an ex employee of hidden falls.
We kind of do if you get there ,but its also better to keep the environment relatively free of people .
So incredibly intelligent! And She comes back the same time every year that's just something else!♡
My neighbor: a deer ate my plants.
Hatchery manager: a whale ate $13 million of my salmon.
😆
This is ILLEGAL to shoot the whale while deer...
Underrated comment 😂
She is a big girl she has to get her weight in food. I mean is it that much of a surprise it would have happened eventually that whales or other wildlife took a good chunk of the salmon it was their food source first we have been killing them off by taking it and by using our boats in the waters they live in. Kind of arrogant to think they're reserved only for humans or be upset when this is nature being nature.
Yeah, deer cleans out my garden, killing some of the plants, slugs eat all the leaves, rabbits eat clovers and leaves, I ask myself, why do I water these plants? LOL

That whale's been there every year they said. The hatchery owner must be dumber than the whale. Are they just firing the manager every year right before the whale comes back?

Jhon is very tolerent of the whal. We where doing research to reduce predation in outher ways to recoup costs.
"So I stole from the humans, and..."
"You're crazy, Hector!"
"No, no no, let me finish. So I stole 13 million dollars worth of fish, and the fucking workers applauded me for it! I stole more than most of them will make in their whole damn lives and they fucking thanked me for it!"

Is no one gonna talk about how brave that cameraman is getting down there when he knows there is a giant humpback whale under him 3:37 i would not been able to do the same
No because whales do not oppose a serious threat towards human.
@@heneedsomemilk2877 still..
The whale knows where he is an what he's doing, he's perfectly safe so long as he's in eye shot of her. If he got below or behind her, that might get dangerous - because a fluke slap from a big whale can cause enough water pressure to stun you. Some whales hunt by that method..
Months of hatchery workers' hard work gone in a few gulps :D
Yep 🙈
I think the hatchery can still make money from whale watching tourism.
Insurance
Fuck the hatchery
@@danieltijerina4451 nah fuck the whale . Just one fucking whale ain't worthy enough to lose millions of dollars and millions of people's food and livelihood . Fuck that whale . 😁
You know there's probably a lot of ways to scare the whale off but that manager is probably like "Worth it. Investors there's nothing I can do. Unavoidable expense. Susan is... I mean, the whale is a protected species. Nothing I can do."
Watched this a few years ago. This needs a part 2. Does she still go there today ?
I'm curious too.

they can make an Instagram account for her so she can become an influencer and advertise the salmon.

😆
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Same 😂😂😂😂
Relevance. This is probably the best and easiest and most reliable meal she gets all year long.
If your local grocery store had a 1-day only free food bonanza available only to you every year on the same day, I'm pretty sure you'd remember that day.
@@FlyingDwarfman True, but a whale doesn't have a calendar to see which day it is.
The Humpback whale knows the yearly release times of the salmon and goes back right on time every year . That , to !e , is amazing
My grandfather worked at a Salmon hatchery/Mink Farm. Used to go there every year in the 80s and early 90s when he retired. Was near Puyallup, WA. Best times I swear. Pugeot Sound we would see the weirdest fish , Crab and Whales, go up into Mt Rainier in the Summer and play in the snow and I'm from Chicago and even at a young age I would think my people's in Chgo would laugh they ass off knowing I'm playing in snow in the Summertime. WA hopefully will be my final resting spot.

To those who run the hatchery thank you so much for feeding this magnificent whale. The food in the ocean is after the all theirs.
Nothing owns anything on earth why would a whale own it
@@T0YCHEST Yeah like we humans own nothing but still keep on destroying animal habitats.
Can you explain the last sentence you said? I don't understand what you meant.
I think you fundamentally just do not understand what nature is.
The narrator suggesting that what would happen next will surprise everyone had me in tears! We all would've guessed that she'll eat the baby salmon. Here's an idea, instead of just opening up one side of the net try replacing that side with netting that a small salmon could swim through but idk... a mother f'in humpback whale can't!

It was obviously a dinner invitation.
If the manager is smart, he ought to start hosting high-price whale watching on salmon-release day. It may not be worth $13 million but he would at least get some of his money back.

What are his alternatives? Let's say he tries to built dome sort of steal fence or gate along the perimeter of the pens; the whale then hits them, possibly injuring itself (massive EPA fines) and possibly damages the pen ($10,000s to $100,000s of repairs to the facility). Maybe placing concrete pilings at 6 foot intervals along the mouth of the inlet; thousands of pages of paperwork, months of bureaucratic haranguing, tens of thousands of dollars in process fees, lawyer billable hours, court fees, and even if it gets approved, if the whale hits them and is injured...massive EPA fines.

$13m is a giant exaggeration. They are counting up the street value of the when fully grown up. Less than 1% of those salmon fry would have made it to adulthood.
That whale made sure of that.

One can never lose something one will never have. The;y were way gone before they ever reached their street value.
If they were raised in a salmon farm then they could recover closer to 100%. But AK doesn't like salmon farms...so there aren't any there.
1% - 5% in wild. Upto 95% in hatchery.
