Rorquals (whales in the family Balaenopteridae, including humpbacks and blues) can unhinge their jaws and have 12-15 expandable throat grooves. In one lunge, they can take in 100 tonnes of krill-filled water in 10 seconds!
Check out this video of a lunge feeding humpback that almost swallows the cameraman!
