Humpback whale breaching. Cetacean surfacing behaviour is a grouping of movement types that cetaceans make at the water's surface in addition to breathing. Cetaceans have developed and use surface behaviours for many functions such as display, feeding and communication.
Bubble-net feeding is a feeding behavior engaged in by humpback whales [1] and Bryde's whales. [2] It is one of the few surface feeding behaviors that humpback whales are known to engage in. [3] This type of feeding can be done alone or in groups with as many as twenty whales participating at once. [4]
A male humpback whale has made an extraordinary journey from South America to Africa — traveling more than 13,046 kilometers (8,106 miles) — the longest migration recorded for a single whale ...
A humpback whale has been found travelling a record-breaking distance spanning three oceans to mate, raising an alarm about global challenges affecting the migratory behaviour of the species ...
A male humpback whale made one of the longest and most unusual migrations on record for the species, an anomaly scientists say might be linked to climate change. ... the humpback's behavior ...
A humpback whale straining water through its baleen after lunging. Rorquals feed on plankton by a technique called lunge feeding. [24] Lunge feeding could be regarded as a kind of inverted suction feeding, during which a whale takes a huge gulp of water, which is then filtered through the baleen. [24]
For the new study, the researchers used machine learning to detect patterns in audio data collected by The Dominica Sperm Whale Project, a repository for observations of sperm whales that inhabit ...
