Good morning, everyone. Today, in our marine biology lecture, we'll discuss the migration patterns of the humpback whale. These whales travel up to 16,000 kilometers each year from their feeding grounds in cold polar waters to warmer tropical breeding areas. Interestingly, they do not feed during the migration, relying entirely on stored fat. Researchers use photo-identification to track individuals, noting unique patterns on their tail flukes. One key finding is that calves learn the migration route by following their mothers, which means climate change affecting ocean temperatures could disrupt their traditional paths.
