The Predicament

Anchovies stuck in the baleen is according to plan. The pelican was an accident, the humpback apparently opening extra-wide to allow escape of the big squirming thing. Partial sequence of a Brown Pelican mistakenly ingested, getting free of a Humpback Whale's maw. Port San Luis, Avila, San Luis Obispo County California. August 23, 2012.
