Two humpback whales were sighted traveling between Australia and Brazil, a rare phenomenon scientists believe could become more common due to climate change. The study used photo-identification of whale tails to track their movements.
Two humpback whales have completed record-breaking migrations of approximately 9,000 miles between Australia and Brazil, astonishing scientists. Identified by unique tail markings, these journeys challenge previous understandings of whale population separation and highlight their incredible endurance.
Researchers using citizen science data have documented two humpback whales traveling over 14,000 km across the Southern Hemisphere, challenging previous understandings of whale population isolation and migration patterns.
