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 whale was first sighted in ...
A humpback whale has stunned scientists with a journey that spanned three oceans and more than 8,000 miles, setting the record for the longest known migration between breeding grounds.

Humpback whales only have been heard making clicks, while toothed whales use sonar that may generate up to 20,000 watts of sound (+73 dBm or +43 dBw) [55] and be heard for many miles.
This behavior was only documented in toothed whales until footage of a humpback whale sleeping (vertically) was shot in 2014. [73] It is largely unknown how baleen whales produce sound because of the lack of a melon and vocal cords. Research has found that the larynx had U-shaped folds which are thought to be similar to vocal cords. They are ...
