Humpback whales are like travelers who take different routes. Sometimes, they go where the food is best, but if something changes in the ocean, they might choose a new path that we haven’t noticed yet. Scientists wonder: are some humpbacks choosing to stay somewhere else instead of coming back?
Examples
- A baby humpback is born near Antarctica but grows up somewhere else because its family took a new route.
- Humpbacks that used to feed in one place now swim farther south to find their food.
