Underwater photographer Tony Wu shot some images of a sperm whale off the coast of Japan at mealtime — and the meal happened to be a giant squid:
"The captivating pictures show adult sperm whales feasting on a rare giant squid. Though the squid looks small beside the enormous whales, it is thought to be an incredible eight to ten metres long. One of the dead squid's tentacles – a leftover scrap – was measured at a jaw-dropping three-and-a-half metres long.And experts now think the pictures could be some of the rarest ever captured beneath the ocean's surface, showing as they do the sight of five adults teaching a hungry calf how to catch its prey.Underwater photographer Tony Wu witnessed the pod – five adults and a juvenile – devour the mammoth squid near the Ogasawara Islands in Japan earlier this month."
Two more shots, AFTER THE JUMP…
