Humpback whales are forming super-groups

Super Groups usually don't turn out as good as they sound like they should. One or two good songs over the course of multiple albums at best.

There must have been so much unseen behavior when there were millions more whales in the ocean. Here's hoping that we can see more

I hope we create whalegemma (similar to dolphingemma) so we can explain to them how to co-exist better with humans (e.g. avoid this area during their whale hunting season, travel to this area if you get sick or tangled in rope).

It’s going to be prog rock, isn’t it?

It was in the heat of the moment.

Sorry. I couldn’t resist.

> Bursting from their enormous lungs at over 300mph (483km/h), a humpback whale's blow can rise up to 7m (23ft) into the air.

Pick a lane BBC.

But this is great news. Also the fact that whales "transport huge amounts of nutrients across the globe" (linking to [1]) is fascinating. The role of whales in sucking up critters in one place and pooping them out elsewhere being a fundamental dynamic that drives global ocean ecosystems... just chefs kiss

It's the Entmoot of the sea.

They may gather up for a protest. See the whale north of Germany who seems unable to swim away.

They are going to save us from that XXIII century probe, right

Perhaps they're forming a delegation to decide what to answer to that thing coming from space? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_IV%3A_The_Voyage_Hom...

Hopefully they are building an army to conquer the planet.
