Researchers on Weizhou Island have documented several remarkable predatory tactics observed in the Bryde's whales, offering new insights into aquatic hunting strategies. Among the findings is a newly identified behavior dubbed "self-rotational feeding" or "ladle-scoop predation."

Bryde's whales showcase unique feeding tactics across Asia: in China's Weizhou Island, they spin to "scoop" fish into their mouths or team up to trap prey in coordinated circles, while in Thailand, they craft bubble nets to corral their meals. Dubbed a clever "wait-and-catch" strategy by netizens, these behaviors highlight the species' ingenuity and regional adaptability in marine hunting.
