Whalesongs
And when humpbacks sing—
in a voice that sounds like
a cross between Gregorian chant
and a haunting owl—
their songs can carry for miles underwater,
and often continue for hours.
Baby humpbacks whisper to their mothers.
Researchers have uncovered that songs
spread between humpback populations:
whales in Australia share their songs
with pods in French Polynesia,
who then pass those songs along
to others in Ecuador.
