🎵 Fun Facts About the Mysterious Songs of Whales
While your child colors, here's a great moment for a little story: mostly male humpback whales sing complex, elaborately structured songs made up of repeating patterns, which can last up to 30 minutes before starting over from the beginning. Remarkably, this song changes over time, and entire whale groups gradually adopt new melodies from one another, almost like a shifting musical trend. Since low-pitched sounds travel especially well underwater, some whale songs could theoretically be heard by other whales hundreds of kilometers away. Anyone who wants to learn more about this fascinating phenomenon can explore the humpback whale profile on Wikipedia together.
