A collection of Humpback Whale Flukes from Hawai'i

Humpback whales are identified by the unique black-and-white pigmentation patterns, scars, and serrated edges on the underside of their tail flukes, which functions as a distinct identifier. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #HumpbackWhales

What the science of baby-speak can tell us about whale songs A new study reveals that whale song and human languages share features that make them easier to learn.

"Humpbacks songs each consist of sound elements that are combined into phrases that are then repeated to create the themes that together form songs. This is similar to how human language works."
