Listen to the songs that fascinate whale's hearts from the depths of the ocean

Do you believe whales know to sing? They even sing well or else.

Whales are known for being the most intelligent and big animals living in the ocean. But, have you ever thought about them . singing?

In fact, the whale singing is always a topic that has received much attention from scientists. And if not, listen to it immediately.

Two species of whales have the most distinctive singing

Among the dozens of whales distributed throughout the world, two species are considered to be the most distinctive vocal humpback whales and head whales (also known as Arctic whales).

Humpback whales are one of the largest size whales, and are also among the few species capable of producing complex songs. The purpose of humpback whale singing is still unclear, although there are many assumptions that this is how they attract their mates during the mating season.

Arctic whales are also equally talented musicians. However, due to living in harsh Northern environmental conditions, and the number of people being hunted down by humans, there is not much knowledge about this species.

Only knowing that they have mesmerizing singing

The same is "music", but the music created by each species is a little different.

People often compare songs of humpback whales to classical music - disciplined and have a very long time, from 20 to 30 minutes. Arctic whale music is different. They resemble Jazz music, full of improvisation and continuity.

In particular, do not think that they will sing any song like it does, but it changes. With head whales, they change songs continuously after only a few hours. The sound of this animal is considered as diverse as the song of birds.

Meanwhile, the humpback whale brother can only sing a few "cabinets" throughout the season.

Thanks to this feature, the head whale is different from the rest. In fact, mammals (mammal whales) tend to repeat familiar, rarely changing actions like this whale. In addition, although there is no authentic evidence yet, it seems that male fish are more likely to sing during the breeding season.

Currently, the monitoring and study of whale singing, especially the Arctic whale, is becoming more and more difficult due to many reasons such as hard-to-access habitat and obstruction from fighting activities. catch trade.

Professor Kate Stafford of the University of Washington said that in order to gain a deeper understanding of their behavior and their singing, placing underwater recorders is not enough. Therefore, she believes that the best way is to mount a tracking device to gather accurate information about the sound of each individual individual.

This may be difficult, but it promises to open up many interesting things worth exploring.
