Humpback Whale Behaviors: The Bubble Trail Sometimes observing one of the simplest of humpback whale behaviors can have the greatest impact. This is an amazing, minimalist scene! What we have in this video is “just” a male humpback whale, an escort, blowing a beautiful bubble trail next to the female he’s trying to impress. Nothing

It’s also the winter
