Humpback Whales Are Way Cooler Than You

FEW animal species need to raise less images than the magnificent humpback whale. However, scientists have recently gathered evidence that the maritime mammals exploded that the playful bubbles exploded that they were once considered a cool stigmatization, similar to the smoke rings blown up by old -time cartoon cowboys. Researchers who compile the images of such 12 ring production departments, recently findings inside Naval mammal.

Although the hunches and other whale species have been known to blow bubble nets that have been hunted for a long time, and while competing for spouses, the researchers have first inflated the explosions and explosions of bubbles and bubbles, the researchers for the first time have documented humps that produce large bubble rings on the ocean surface.

Fred We show that they blow bubble rings in an attempt to interact in a joke, observe our answer, and/or attempt to communicate in a kind of animal behaviorist and partner in an animal behaviorist and partner. expression.

12 reports that make bubble rings produced by 12 individual whales who have photographed or photographed the sections of both Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and who have taken video, natural scientists and 12 individual whales escaping from citizen scientists. The authors then interviewed the observers. While only two of these sections were associated with feeding, the authors argued that the remaining 10 contained curious interactions with people on boats, swimming or light airplanes.

The research was carried out under the umbrella of the Whale Set, an organization aimed at solving the turmoil of humpback whale communication as a way to understand non -human intelligence in the context of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

And just smoking for recording is not cool. But the humps blowing bubbles.
