Whales that learn new songs

  • Megaptera Novaeangliae
Maybe practising a new song
 

It's long been understood that whales use song to communicate with one another, and maybe you've even listened to whalesong to relax. But you may not know about new research which shows that as they migrate, the Megaptera Novaeangliae species can learn new songs from other whales. This allows scientists to track the migration patterns of these very smart creatures as they have a whale of a time!
