Members phkrause Posted December 1, 2023 Members Share Posted December 1, 2023 The Whale That’s Known Only by the Sound of Its Voice The underwater microphone first picked up the distinctive ping around 4:00 a.m. In the water off Hawai‘i, there it was: the unknown whale’s signature call. Jennifer McCullough, a biologist with the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), checks her monitors. From her station on the research ship’s lower deck, her instruments are telling her the sounds are coming from only 200 meters away. She radios up to the bridge, guiding the crew to keep the whales in front of the ship. For 18 years, scientists have been sporadically recording the sounds of this mystery animal. With a bit more light, McCullough might finally, finally, be able to spot one. https://hakaimagazine.com/news/the-whale-thats-known-only-by-the-sound-of-its-voice/?

Members phkrause Posted February 26 Author Members Share Posted February 26 🌊 How whales sing A humpback whale calf in the waters of Moorea. Photo: Karim Iliya The songs of humpback, blue and other baleen whales are generated by the unusual anatomy of their larynx, Axios managing editor Alison Snyder writes from a new paper in Nature. Why it matters: A whale's song helps it find other animals in the vast ocean and plays a large role in its behavior, study co-author Coen Elemans, a professor at the University of Southern Denmark, told PopSci. When the land mammals that were ancestors of today's whales returned to the sea, they needed to be able to inhale and exhale large volumes of air when they surfaced to breathe, and to hold that air in when they sang underwater. Scientists concluded that baleen whales have "unique laryngeal structures .... [that] allow some of the largest animals that ever lived to efficiently produce frequency-modulated, low-frequency calls." Go deeper.

(AP) — Authorities were seeking to assist a beached sperm whale stranded on a sandbar off Florida’s Gulf Coast on Sunday, but said conditions in the water were too dangerous for crews to safely approach and administer a sedative. https://apnews.com/article/beached-whale-venice-florida-9295ccbf4cb786568f2735b0a3527c71?
