Humpback Whale Completes Record Migration from Colombia to Zanzibar
Scientists have documented a remarkable migration of a humpback whale, traveling approximately 13,000 km from the Pacific coast of Colombia to Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean. This unprecedented journey may be influenced by climate change affecting food availability or efforts to find new breeding grounds. The findings, based on extensive photographic data submitted through the citizen science platform happywhale.com, highlight the impact of environmental changes on marine life. Researchers believe this may be the longest recorded migration for a humpback whale.
