Humpback whales primarily feed on small fish, krill, and other zooplankton, utilizing techniques like bubble net feeding to efficiently catch their prey. These large whales have few natural predators, but orcas (killer whales) are known to occasionally hunt them, particularly targeting younger or weaker individuals. Human activities, such as fishing and environmental changes, can also impact their populations indirectly. Overall, humpback whales play a significant role in the marine ecosystem as both predators and prey.
