Sea creatures spotted in massive feast off California coast. See the ‘epic trip’

Boaters off the coast of California got the chance to witness a massive feeding frenzy among sea creatures.

On July 5, during an “epic trip,” boaters got the chance to see a humpback whale and 150 common dolphins “feasting together,” according to a Facebook post by San Diego Whale Watch.

The group spent two hours with the hungry creatures as they ate “so many different kinds of fish,” the post said.

After taking a peek at what the birds were munching on, they learned what was on the day’s menu – sardines, Spanish mackerel and needlefish, the group said.

Some passengers got the lucky chance to see the humpback whale breach in the distance, the group said.

Humpbacks usually display this behavior as a means of communicating with other whales as the sound of them slapping their bodies against the water can be “heard for miles,” according to The Marine Mammal Center.

Boaters even got the opportunity to see dolphins play and hunt in the boat’s wake – a memory of a “life time,” the group said.
