A humpback whale with anchovies and a California Sea lion in its mouth! I’m sure it happens quite often, but when it does it’s a VERY quick exchange, so it’s though to see, let alone capture. Don’t worry, the Humpback’s esophagus is not big enough to swallow anything bigger than the size of a large grapefruit.
