How do Humpback whales know where to migrate in the winter? Alaskan humpback whales migrate mostly to the Hawaiian islands for the winter because of their depleting food source in Alaska, but my question is how do they know where to go? is it the change in temperature or does is have something to do with the equator or something else… any help is much appreciated!
What are the fish that clean humpback whales? I see little fish on this video of a humpback whale. What are they and why are they cleaning it?
Cleaning other species is a life style called “cleaning symbiosis” and it helps both the cleaner and the cleaned. The fish is probably a remora http://www.oceanlight.com/html/remora_sp.html
different vocal sounds for humpback whales? When a male humpback whale sings, how can you tell whether the whale is singing to attract females for mating or to tell other whales to clear away from his territory? by the way, I’d like professional answers please.
mating calls sound have more base in the sounds
I think the call does both. While the call warns males it also alerts any females in the general area that he is ready to mate. I love humpback whales, they are my favorite whale.
What ever happened to those humpback whales stranded in the bay? I haven’t heard anything about them anymore.. are they still alive?, did they get them out of the bay and back into the ocean?, or did they die?, i can’t find any updated news on them, does anyone know what became of them? i posted this question in pets>fish because other wise no one answers it in the science section
As of May 30, they were back in the area of the San Fransisco Bay Bridge, and weren’t seen on the 31, so they’re believed to have gone back to the ocean. See timeline and other stories in the links below: http://tyndallreport.com/tyndallsearch/?m=1&guid=1281&storytitle=Humpback+whales+stranded+in+Sacramento+River http://www.incidentnews.gov/entry/517989 http://www.whalesong.net/log.htm
i think they are out to sea now
did you hear about the attacks of the killer whales for real no joke some where in a show the whale attacked its trainer and some other attack took place as well.
Last I heard: They were last seen almost back to the ocean. They disappeared after that last sighting and were presumed to have returned to the Pacific.
