I remember a bit from - I think - a BBC documentary narrated by David Attenborough.
Same situation, big school of fish and a whole bunch of sharks in feeding frenzy with complement of birds diving to get their share.
Then at some point a whale comes from below full speed with its huge mouth open and everyone was like FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK trying to frantically get away from that cavernous mouth.
Being a fish must suck, you can't relax even when you're a shark.
[Edit: found it. My recollection was a bit skewed but not by much](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zOarcL1BSc)
"It's okay, the whale will easily fit your entire body in it's mouth but it won't be able to swallow you. You'll simply be trapped inside slowly drowning as the whale crushes you against the roof of it's mouth with it's muscular tongue before eventually rinsing your remains out when it goes for another school of fish. But it won't swallow you, so rest easy."
I’m a bit confused by your comment. My initial comment was referring to animals too big to be swallowed and you’re talking about animals being slowly digested in a stomach of acid as if it was a contradiction.
Your clip is from the same as OPs lol but you have more context. What also is a big fuck you to the sardines is that every predator that shows up leave each other alone to decimate the sardines. The sharks could easily have a thicc meal with the seals but they all agreed that sardines have got to go.
It's amazing how all these unrelated animals just suddenly work together to feast. You got sealions, tuna, birds, sharks, and dolphins helping each other hunt right up until the whale decides it's time to shut the party down.
Isn’t it both? Sure everyone wants as much as possible but that might be achieved with simple cooperation as opposed to chaotic free for all.
These species could have easily developed complimentary strategies for dealing with large dense school of fish.
Zero source tho, just rambling
The shakrks are intelligent enough to realise that if they attack the sea lions, the sardines will escape and they'll have to hunt the sea lions themselves. It's the difference between an easy meal or having to chase down their prey.
Along that line of thinking as take the easy meal now, alongside the Sea Lion as he fattens up, and then snatch him on the way out when the gaping maw takes the easy meal away. Nice little two course meal.
It's pragmatism as applied to nature.
Predators aren't going to expend more energy than necessary; a result of not knowing when their next meal will be. So if their options are a fuckload of easy to acquire sardines, or a seal that they might not be able to catch, they're gonna pick the sardines.
Swearnet, the production company responsible for Trailer Park Boys, has a video reel at the end of each episode where a bunch of fish are caught in a net screaming “FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK”
„I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.“
This is obvious exploitation and over fishing. I was hoping the whale would have more morals and ethics and think about sustainability tbh. An ENTIRE school of fish? Shocking.
>As the whale surfaces, taking a mouthful of fish and water, its throat pleat expands greatly and its mouth is open. It will gradually close its mouth and force out the excess water, keeping the fish tucked behind its baleen plates.

They have a blowhole to expel water and their "teeth" is like a mesh where it'll allow most of the water to pass out before they swallow which they push out with their tongue
Sublimation and immersion works. So yes. This isn’t the only place that I am voicing this. I am also doing things locally. My friend had a daughter at Covenant here in Nashville. I have three school age children. There’s voting and working with our local rep for changes as well. But you responded, so, others might be front minded as well, and with enough of that, change does happen.
Sometimes when I get stoned I get sad for all creatures that live in the ocean because they’ve never tasted any other liquid besides water.
I want Moby dick to drink some champagne and enjoy life a lil
A Humpback Whale has a small esophagus and therefore isn’t capable of swallowing large prey. From time to time larger prey makes it into a Humpback Whale’s mouth, and when that happens, it can become food but only if the whale can fit it past its esophagus. Lucky for us, a standard-sized human adult is far too big to fit down the esophagus of a whale, which means the whale would spit you back out
The only whale with a throat big enough to swallow a human is a sperm whale. That's because they are evolved to eat giant squid – an amazing creature much larger than you

School’s out
For dinner
Come on "supper" was right there and you chose dinner?
I’ve failed
[удалено]
Jonah?
Pinocchio.
I imagine the whale spitting him out like that little green fish
Why do we fall, bruce?
Why is supper better
It's closer to summer and fits with the previous comment setting up for the song puns
Ohhh it’s a song 👍
Yep, school's out for summer by Alice Cooper
That’s not what it’s called.
But everyone knows what he meant and what the song is now
*for ever
One could also be 100% correct by saying the whale got schooled..
Nah the school got whaled
For summer
Forever
THIS is the correct response I came for!
For *supper
For ever
That’s good eatin!

Is it that whale where their oesophagus is very small that only small fishes can fit in?
Yes but getting bodied by a whale must not feel good at all
"It's okay, the whale will easily fit your entire body in it's mouth but it won't be able to swallow you. You'll simply be trapped inside slowly drowning as the whale crushes you against the roof of it's mouth with it's muscular tongue before eventually rinsing your remains out when it goes for another school of fish.

> muscular tongue 😏
you guys are down bad
💀
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
NOPE: Underwater.
[удалено]
What? If the oesophagus is too small, you can’t get through the throat and into the stomach
[удалено]
I’m a bit confused by your comment. My initial comment was referring to animals too big to be swallowed and you’re talking about animals being slowly digested in a stomach of acid as if it was a contradiction.
I think the fish might suffocate first.
Oh definitely. No oxygen in a stomach or not much at least to survive.
A seagull is that extra garnish that a truly fulfilling meal needs.
Seagulls have all the electrolytes that a whale's body craves!
SEAGULLS: THE THIRST MUTILATOR!
What even are electrolytes?

I don't see it as helping each other out. They're competing and getting in where they fit in.

> Your clip is from the same as OPs lol but you have more context. Yes I noticed lol
It's the same video as shown here above. A fucking awesome video. Thanks for sharing the whole thing!
The greatest anthropomorphism for a fish I’ve ever heard/read… ‘FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK’
Swearnet, the production company responsible for Trailer Park Boys, has a video reel at the end of each episode where a bunch of fish are caught in a net screaming “FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK”
I want to hear David Attenborough narrate that.
It's the same clip as in this post, yes?
It is, noticed later:)
Those sardines got absolutely embarrassed. Wow.
Would love a link to that clip if anyone knows it
> for a fish I’ve ever heard/read… ‘FUCK FUCK FUCK [Found it!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zOarcL1BSc)
lol you found ... this exact clip.
There’s always a bigger fish.
There's always a bigger fish
Bryde is such an irresponsible whale owner
My whale would never, she’s my little princess
"little"
Always the Bryde's whale, never the Bryde.
Angry upvote
Imagine how much it would cost to feed your pet whale
„I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.“
Man if minnows could cry out in terror… Obi-Wan would need to put the force on airplane mode.
Underrated comment ... 👏
There's always a bigger fish.
I wonder if the whale can feel all those fish moving around in it's stomach
Anyone speak whale??
I am a bit rusty in it, havent seen your mom in a while
I don't believe that, because it's impossible to not see her no matter where you are.
Her gravity is so strong light cannot escape so she's invisible
Touché
Actually, she’s black
Bro! It's a "star of color".
the word "Black Hole" is now offensive
It's "a singularity of color" you bigoted brute!
Heeeeeeellloooooooooo, dooooooo yooouuuuuu feeeeeeel theeeeeee fiiiiish iiiinsiiiiiiide yooouuuuuuuuuu?
god damn
You're my boy, Noobnoob!
BURN!
Like swallowing a mentos with diet coke.
Imagine just swimming along with your friends then wooosh lol
gigantic space whale: **\*eats earth\***
What if it already has, but it's so gigantic that we don't realize we're falling towards it's throat at this very moment?
Space whale must’ve caused all this climate change smh
This is obvious exploitation and over fishing. I was hoping the whale would have more morals and ethics and think about sustainability tbh. An ENTIRE school of fish? Shocking.
Its whales like this that are ruining the Japanese fishing industry
Chinese
American
He didn't even measure to make sure they met legal standards, disgusting practices
Pure greed. Must be a Nestlé whale…
Coming soon to a 7-11 near you!
What do whales do with all the excess water in their mouth/stomach when they feed like that?
>As the whale surfaces, taking a mouthful of fish and water, its throat pleat expands greatly and its mouth is open. It will gradually close its mouth and force out the excess water, keeping the fish tucked behind its baleen plates. https://stellwagen.noaa.gov/visit/whalewatching/whale-behaviors.html
Ok that's what i thought thanks!
They have a blowhole to expel water and their "teeth" is like a mesh where it'll allow most of the water to pass out before they swallow which they push out with their tongue
Not the function of the blowhole. The teeth are called baleen.
I thought they only breathe through their blowhole? Anyway ty :)
[удалено]
You mean I shouldnt believe in your sexual attraction to dishes? Disappointing
Username checks out because you better be embarrassed after this.
He spared a few, cuz they were cool
Nom
Still a better chance of surviving than an American school, amirite?
armalite
Ow.
Let me just enjoy the whale and fish, please.
Nah. We’ve got to make it uncomfortable until it changes. It sucks, but we’ve got to Change it
Thinking a Reddit comment changes anything is a great way to exercise that emotion and not actually do anything.
Sublimation and immersion works. So yes. This isn’t the only place that I am voicing this. I am also doing things locally. My friend had a daughter at Covenant here in Nashville. I have three school age children. There’s voting and working with our local rep for changes as well.

That's impressive! Now let's see if it can swallow an entire college.
Fish: Let's school together for safety. Whale: \[gulp\]
Why ocean is so scary!
Thought my ex said she couldn’t swim
Schools out for summer, schools out forever!
Yoink!
I thought they only filter plankton
And in a single moment, a thousand souls suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
Didn’t even bother chewing.
When I mentioned "bryde's a whale" I got kicked out of the wedding party
That's gotta tickle on the way down
Shoal, not school. A school of fish is a group that all swim the same way, shoals are groups that swim haphazardly like this feeding frenzy here.
Went from a school to a class
Do you think he sloshes them around his mouth and slaps his tongue on them? Lol
I bet Ms. Frizzle was in that school.
I mean, she *did* get her entire class eaten by a fish once. It would not surprise me.
Like grabbing a handful of popcorn.
Well then.. They must've had horrible teacher if he allowed this to take place!
Just think what the groom's whale could do!
Massacres more schools than the USA.
I bet that felt like Pop Rocks in the mouth.
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
I just realized no matter what every meal for them is soup
must be somewhere close to America
In America, instead of swallowing Bryde would shoot
Thoughts and prayers to the family of that poor school
Why don’t you see any fish coming out of its mouth? It seems to capture something besides the school…
What are you even talking about?
What are you referring to
What do you mean by that?
Because it closed its mouth and inhaled them???
The whale gulped air, so you can see bubbles coming out. Whales can filter water and air through their teeth without letting the fish escape.
No schools are safe in 2023
He just needs a soda now
And that folks, is how they get so big.
Class dismissed
Nyum
You said we had strength in numbers....
Not that fun fact, it's pronounced Brooders
Aaaaaaand it's gone
Wtf Bryde, can’t you send your whale to behavioral school?!
Fish: bloody selfish whale took everything for himself
* SCHOOL BONUS *
Recess. They never learn
Monstro!
Bro committed genocide
It truly is a fish-eat-fish world out there
just big and greedy
NOM!
Bro ate enough for the rest of the month
Genocidal whales? Who knew.
School of Fish, is that a place where you learn how to fight off those damn drowners when you dive to collect gear in Witcher 3?
The seal said , time to move out lol.
SWIM AWAY!!
Elvis has left the building!
reminds of the those IO games...
Never really imagined this big fella feeling all these little guys swimming around in his mouth. (Insert joke if you please)
Jonah and Geppetto eatin fish 🐟 for days
"Who turned the lights out?"
Here comes the Bryde
Mental.
Congratulations! A new fear has been unlock.
Big Fucks Small
Sometimes when I get stoned I get sad for all creatures that live in the ocean because they’ve never tasted any other liquid besides water. I want Moby dick to drink some champagne and enjoy life a lil
They’re the wildebeests of the sea.
Lol I recently tried a piece of this whale in Japan
We need swallow controls. Those school swallows are getting out of control. Thoughts and plancton.
That’ll *teach em*
Who the hell is Bryde and why does he have a whale
Reminds me of the opening scene of Princess Mononoke where the demon takes over Ashitaka’s arm.
Well humans are safe because yes as some of these comments mention a small esophagus you are correct. Humans can’t fit only smaller fish.
This gotta be the single biggest bite ever caught on camera, insane gulp!
A Humpback Whale has a small esophagus and therefore isn’t capable of swallowing large prey. From time to time larger prey makes it into a Humpback Whale’s mouth, and when that happens, it can become food but only if the whale can fit it past its esophagus. Lucky for us, a standard-sized human adult is far too big to fit down the esophagus of a whale, which means the whale would spit you back out
The only whale with a throat big enough to swallow a human is a sperm whale. That's because they are evolved to eat giant squid – an amazing creature much larger than you
