An amazing photo captures a bump of sea lioness accidentally eaten

A California sea lion occupied his own business by eating anchovies off the US coast at Monterey Bay earlier this month when he accidentally entered the food chain.

The awareness of a humpback whale by a marine mammal has been captured in a unique image by a photographer who is filming whales in the bay.

Anchovies are also a favorite food for humpback whales. Whales eat the tiny fish en masse by opening their mouths at about 90 degrees and accelerating in front of their prey, swallowing as much as possible in one go. This is what is called slot feeding.

But sometimes, slot feeders swallow something they did not intend to do. Like a sea lion, for example.

"While humpback whales were feeding on an anchovy bench, a sea lion apparently did not jump quickly and got stuck in the mouth of the whale!" Photographer-biologist Chase Dekker wrote on his Instagram page.

Dekker took the picture just as the whale's jaw engulfed the pinniped. It must have been a puzzling moment for sea lions and humpback whales.

Dekker said that the sea lion had finally emerged from the cetacean's mouth, apparently uninjured, and that the whale had resumed feeding on more digestible prey.

"This sea lion had the real" Jonah Experience "!" he noted.
