  1. Twenty-two years and 15,000km later: fluke discovery sets new record for #HumpbackWhale journey.

    #Whale first photographed off the coast of #Brazil in 2003 spotted off north-east #Australia in September 2025.

    Researchers believe is the longest distance ever documented between sightings of an individual humpback. #cetacean #MarineMammals

  2. New #research aims to bring underwater noise’s true impact on killer whales into focus.
    Extended periods of time at sea are necessary to collect the data that will bring us closer to understanding – and protecting – killer whales.

    Our #cetacean #scientists are preparing for an ambitious 2026 field season aboard Raincoast’s Sailing Vessel Achiever. #RaincoastConservationFoundation has joined forces with #EarthSpeciesProject , a #nonprofit research lab using machine learning to advance our understanding of #AnimalCommunication. At the heart of this project is a deceptively simple idea: to watch and listen at the same time. The team aims to uncover how killer whales use sound to coordinate movements, share prey, and maintain social bonds – to ultimately understand and mitigate how noise pollution interferes with these processes.

  7. Lol. So I put some Squishmallows on my Xmas wish list, but didn't pay attention to the sizings. Well, my mate got me the blue whale, and, um, yeah, we both got a surprise when we unboxed him 🤣 My emotional support Cthulhu is shown for scale🎄🐳 #Squishmallow #MarineLife #Whale #Cetacean #Xmas

  12. Another oc! A beluga whale !
    I tried to paint a simpler/more plain armor design this time around, was surprisingly pleased with the result !

  15. CW: New Method To Use Drones For Whale Research | NYTimes paywall


    … a #drone descends from the sky toward a sperm #whale. Instead of dropping a tag from above, this drone will press against the whale’s back to attach a specialized sensor. The tag’s suction cups will stick to the whale’s skin, allowing the device to record audio of these #marine mammals communicating.

    The technique, which researchers call tap-and-go, is described in a new study …

  20. #Scientists capture first-ever footage of killer #whales making #seaweed #grooming 'tools'
    #KillerWhales have been filmed making and then using what is thought to be the #cetacean equivalent of a pumice stone. Reported in Current Biology, this is the first time that a #marinemammal has been seen creating a grooming-related tool and then using it with another individual.

  25. A new refsheet for my Bestest Boy Dorian!

    I've been putting off making a new one for so long, eleven entire years in fact lmao. His design haven't changed that much, now he just has his back fin on his tail and an entire wardrobe instead of just one outfit. (Anyone drawing him is encouraged to dress him in basically anything though, let these examples just be for inspiration.)
