The blue whale is the biggest animal who has ever lived on Earth ! Its body gets even bigger when it swallows huge gulps of water to catch krill.

New findings show that humpback whales sing their elaborate breeding songs on subarctic feeding grounds throughout the dark winter, an atypical behavior for this giant migrator which primarily sings and breeds in tropical waters during winter. We are likely witnessing a strategic response of these humpback whales to the rapidly changing Arctic environment by extending their feeding period into the breeding period based on food availability. according to a study published January 23, 2019, in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by Edda E. Magnúsdóttir and Rangyn Lim from the University of Iceland.

Beluga whales have a nickname: canaries of the sea ! When they sing, they make a high-pitched twitter that sounds exactly like a little bird.

Did you know that Humpback Whales Plagiarize the Tunes of Other Whales (Even Oceans Away)??🎤🎤🎼🐋 Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) aren't just talented singers, they learn and steal each other's songs. And, according to a new study, they can pull off those musical thefts even when there are whole continents separating them from their targets.
