A Humpback Whale feeds at the Stellwagen Bank near Provincetown MA. The Humpback opens his mouth expanding it and filling it with water. He captures his meal in his baleen which are like filters where the fish are caught. Do they pause to say grace? Likely their continual motion is an expression of gratitude and joy. I can imagine no greater expression of exuberance than when a whale breaches, the whole body leaping from the water. I've seen but not caught this.
