Summary:
Whales are known for working together, often when hunting for food. Orcas use teamwork to herd fast-swimming fish into groups so they re easier to catch. Sperm whales use a similar technique. Humpback whales work in teams of up to 20 whales using a method called bubble-net feeding to catch their prey. Beautiful, full-color photographs on every page make this an exciting introduction to the ways whales interact with each other to survive. This exciting elementary life-science topic will inspire even reluctant young readers.
