That’s exactly what a group of whales did — with their gigantic mouths — while putting on a feeding show for some boaters in Long Island waters near Montauk.
During the spectacle, one child on the boat said, “I thought they were going to eat us for a second!” Then a second kid excitedly agreed, adding, “I know! They had their mouths open.”
It all unfolded this summer in front of Instagram user Brian Walsh, who promptly posted a breathtaking video of his encounter with what appears to be as many as five whales sharing a meal with a flock of seagulls. The video has been lurking on Walsh’s Instagram account since Aug. 22, collecting nearly 200 likes and tons of views.
Walsh was with a group of boaters, including some very excited children.
“Look at the size of that blowhole,” one of the kids exclaimed.
