This magnificent view of the rarely seen Bryde's whale was
captured by a team of researchers from the Auckland University of Technology. A
female and her calf are seen swimming off the coast of New Zealand, feeding on
krill, plankton and small fish.
Bryde's whales are critically endangered in New Zealand and
are listed as "data deficient" by the IUCN. Bryde’s whale is named
after Johan Bryde, who helped construct the first South African whaling factory
in the early 1900s.
