Humpback whale in Washington accidentally captures seal in mouth

An unsuspecting harbor seal got caught in a humpback whale’s mouth on Thursday in the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

ANACORTES, Wash. — A humpback whale in Washington had a surprise during feeding time earlier this week.

In the Strait of Juan de Fuca on Thursday, a group with Blue Kingdom Whale and Wildlife Tours from Anacortes was watching “Zillion,” a humpback whale.

As the female whale was feeding on a school of small bait fish, she opened up for a mouthful of food when a harbor seal got swept up into her jaws as she rose to the water’s surface.
