Picture of the Day: Where the sea lions and whales play

By General Aviation News Staff · July 3, 2024 · 3 Comments

Jeremy Lezin submitted this photo and note: “I often fly my Carbon Cub SS out over the Monterey Bay, looking for whale activity. I count myself lucky if I find a single whale or a small pod. On this day I flew over half a dozen whales working with a raft of sea lions. The whales would dive down, blow bubbles, and then chase schools of fish to the surface.”

      Only Orcas (Killer Whales) may eat sea lions. They have teeth & will often eat other mammals or parts of them (like shark livers, sea otters, even babies of other species of whales). But other whales (most whales) do not have teeth, so they eat small fish & plants.

        Some whales have teeth. Like dolphins, sperm whales, right whales, blue whales & balugas
