- 3:28humpback whales feeding on fish in the
- 3:30bay there were lots of tourists on their
- 3:31boats and kayaks watching the whole
- 3:33thing and even though whale watching is
- 3:34a popular activity it comes with
- 3:36important safety precautions experts
- 3:38recommend staying at least 300 ft away
- 3:40from the feeding Zone to avoid dangerous
- 3:42encounters unfortunately Julie and Liz
- 3:45misjudged the distance a tightly packed
- 3:47swarm of fish known as a bait ball
- 3:49suddenly moved alarmingly close to them
- 3:51but they weren't the only ones to notice
- 3:53their presence had also caught the
- 3:54attention of a humpback whale before
- 3:56they had time to react the whale lunged
- 3:57forward to swallow the fish but in the
- 3:59process it also scooped up Julie and Liz
