@pacificwhalefoundation: 🎵 Sound on! 🎵 During a recent vessel survey with the University of Hawai‘i Marine Mammal Research Program, our team captured this awe-inspiring underwater video of a humpback whale singing in Hawai‘i. The song was so powerful, researchers could feel the vibrations through their feet! As you watch, keep an eye out—you’ll catch a brief glimpse of this incredible whale about two-thirds of the way through the video. Since only male humpbacks sing, we know this soulful performer is a male. What’s truly fascinating? Humpback whale songs evolve over time, spreading through cultural exchange as whale populations interact. Parts of their songs can travel vast distances across oceans, revealing just how connected these magnificent animals are on a global scale. For over 40 years, we’ve dedicated ourselves to studying and protecting humpback whales and other marine life. Follow along to learn more about our research and conservation efforts and help us continue this important work!
