During their migration past Barrow, Alaska each spring, bowhead whales, Balaena mysticetus, are remarkably vocal, producing


patterned sequences of complex sounds referred to as "songs"
exchange calls with other whales in a form of vocal interaction referred to as counter-calling
and repeated calls for an extended period of time or during counter-calling exchanges with other whales.

  • they are very amazing,deep sea scares the shit outta me

  • i know how sad how dare they kill whales

  • whales are amazing animals... especially when it comes to evolution. i seriously don't see how countries can kill so many a year in the name of "science"... which apparently food is a science now.

  • amazing, just, amazing

  • Cool. Just read an article from the University of Copenhagen about Bowhead whales. Apparently their repertoire is accumulates all through their 200 year life span and is far greater than had been thought.
