Tired calf getting a humpy-back ride from mama!

Acoustic data along with surface visual observations can help us get a better understanding of #humpbackwhale behaviors in the presence of vessel activities.

🌎 Beneath California's Sierra Nevada, Earth's lithosphere may be peeling away layer by layer, according to research supported by @igpp-sio.bsky.social scientist Debi Kilb. This process could be reshaping the region's geology. 🏔️ Dive into the discovery via @eos.org. ⬇️

Whales can communicate with humans!!!

December 2023, researchers at Davis, the SETI Institute, and the Alaska Whale Foundation had a 20-minute "conversation" with a humpback whale named Twain

I translated what Twain said

A pod of orcas off the coast of Mexico appears to have learned new skills that help them hunt whale sharks — the world’s largest fish, scientists say.

Researchers found that the pod worked together on four occasions to incapacitate whale sharks and feast on their organs.
