Older Male Whales More Successful at Mating Because They’re Better Singers, Shows Study Older male whales are more successful at mating than their younger rivals because they are better singers, suggests new research. The older singing whales are increasingly successful at birthing offspring compared to younger males, with the findings suggesting that the humpbacks may need time to learn and refine their singing and competitive tactics—giving experienced males […] The post Older Male Whales More Successful at Mating Because They’re Better Singers, Shows Study appeared first on Good News Network.

Drone footage reveals orcas using tools in a stunning first | CNN Orcas were spotted using kelp as a grooming tool on each other, the first known use of tools among cetaceans for something other than hunting prey.

This is so amazing!

Scientists stunned to observe that humpback whales might be trying to talk to us These whales used bubble rings to seemingly send messages to humans.

Humpback whales were seen making bubble rings near people, outside of feeding or mating. The behavior seems playful or curious, and may be a way of interacting with humans.
