Arabian Sea #humpback #whale’s long-distance trip further highlights species’ unique #ecology
Study documents first direct evidence of an Arabian Sea #humpbackWhale crossing the #ArabianSea, an unusual journey for a species so uniquely adapted to their #habitat they represent a behavioral anomaly -

Day 41; New chip, safety net removed, the barge is taking more water. The convoy is moving north again, towards the North Sea. If the weather calms down this evening, they'll continue towards Norway / Atlantic. Timmy's release is definitely getting closer ...

Sledovat keporkaky je výrazně zdravější než sledovat samce druhu Homo sapiens s mocenskou úchylkou.

@DoomsdaysCW yes we all hope for c), but it is unrealistic, isn't it? Look at how much buzz and hype a single stranded #humpback whale in the #BalticSea causes now. People care about it. Media outlets are reporting about it all the time. A whale is concrete and real, it can be touched, you can comprehend it. #ClimateCrisis, #ClimateChange and #LimitsToGrowth are abstract and seem to be far away.
If people would care the same about issues that really matter as they care about the humpback whale, then we would have a real chance to avoid collapse. But this is not how the world works. In the end people care more about helping a whale survive than about helping their own species survive. Because this would mean building a sustainable post-capitalist economy. Or at least thinking about it.

There is a lot of hype about the stranded #humpback whale in the #BalticSea. Of course we all want him to survive. Yet if people would care the same about issues that really matter, then we would have a real chance to avoid collapse. People understand #ClimateChange, but it seems to be abstract & distant. They may understand the problem of #LimitsToGrowth but it seems to be far away as well. In the end people care more about helping a whale survive than about helping their own species survive.

Songs Of The #Humpback #Whale - by Dr. Roger Payne
Quote except: "The original “Songs of the Humpback Whale” by Dr. Roger Payne.
If you are interested in how whale song research started, here is the audio recording from the pioneering research on whale songs by Dr. Roger Payne. I bought this album in 1972 after hearing it in a biology class. The Capitol album is titled: “Songs of the Humpback Whale”…" -

It’s humpback season in Maui. Beautiful creatures. Love sitting on shore and seeing them breach, flapping their pectoral fins,… And hearing their calls while swimming at the beach.

One major reason is that commercial #whaling was banned in 1986. But according to Olga Filatova, their willingness to switch between different food sources also matters.

CW: ‘An incredible privilege and a daunting task’: Oregon tribe harvests beached whale for the first time in generations
“
This was the first time in generations that the Siletz tribe has harvested a whale …Before anyone cut into the animal, they smudged and prayed over its body. They honored the animal for its sacrifice.
…
The team took most of the whale’s blubber, thousands of pounds of it, as well as virtually all its bones.
