After learning what a circle of bubbles in the sea signifies, the internet has found another item to add to their inventory of \u201cnightmare fuel.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A BBC and WWF composite footage describing a very odd phenomenon is shown in a video that was uploaded to Reddit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the vast area, what first looks to be a flawless circle of individual bubbles changes into several circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may appear quite captivating, but what follows the bubbles would make any sane person run for cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You won\u2019t want to see those bubbles in the middle of the night, I can assure you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do they signify, then?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The terrifying implication is that you and everything in the circles will be completely engulfed by enormous humpback whales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is because it\u2019s their unique hunting technique, as a commenter pointed out: \u201cThis is called Bubble Net Feeding, a hunting technique used by whales. They blow bubbles as they spiral around fish, trapping them in a tightening circle. Then they surge from below to gorge on them.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another wrote, \u201cThose are humpback whales, I think \u2013 they are lunge feeders.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, a pod of whales use a cooperative hunting technique called bubble net feeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each whale uses a great deal of intellect, collaboration, and communication in the highly synchronised orchestration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In essence, it happens when whales dive far beneath schools of fish, then use their blowholes to shock and catch the fish as they approach the water\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can then swim in spiral patterns to keep the fish trapped so they can swoop up and consume it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the website<\/a>, humpback whales are referred to as \u201cgulpers\u201d <\/strong>because they eat by opening their lips wide and taking in as much food as they can before shutting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trapped fish will then be swallowed after they use their baleen plates to force the water out of their mouths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you could even consider what was happening, you would be swallowed whole if you were in the circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who watched the movie experienced a frightening realisation about swimming at sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One individual declared that they would prefer to be consumed by a whale over a shark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, if a person accidentally swallows a whale, the whale will spit them out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They wrote, \u201cIf I\u2019m out in that water and see bubbles around me, I\u2019m going to hope it\u2019s a humpback whale because I would 100% rather end up in that thing\u2019s ginormous toothless mouth-gullet than be chomped by a great white\u2019s 87,000 teeth!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to two additional people, the video would give them nightmares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
