We are a small, passionate company who aim to help protect and preserve the wildlife we see through research, education and awar Head slapping draws plankton laden water towards the whale. Researchers estimate can increase the amount of plankton taken in during one mouthful by up to 500% the amount that would be taken in without head-slapping!
