Two photographers captured a remarkable moment off the coast of South Africa, documenting 304 humpback whales feeding together in what researchers are calling a record-breaking supergroup. The extraordinary gathering highlights the resilience of humpback populations, which have made a remarkable recovery from near extinction. While scientists continue to study why these gentle giants congregate in such large numbers, the sighting offers an inspiring glimpse into whale behavior and ocean health.
