'Fire Dragon' on the ocean floor

The underwater photographer, Doug Perrine, when traveling to Mexico's Baja peninsula, captured stunning photographs of the Bryde whale hunt.

According to the Daily Mail, Bryde whales, also known as horned whales, are creatures that use horns like combs in their mouths to filter food from seawater.

There is no escape for hundreds of sardines in front of the whale jaw.

The Bryde whale's food source is sardines. Bryde whales have a length of up to 15m but they can easily disappear in the seabed. This is also the whale that caused a lot of controversy in the scientific world, especially the distinguishing of this species from the Eden whale.

According to Doug Perrine, the author of these photos, capturing Bryde whale photos makes him feel a little scared. The photographer also described the Bryde whale filtering food from the sea with white air bubbles that made them "look like fire-breathing dragons."

Bryde whales live in the Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean. This is also one of the species in danger of extinction.
