Whales Of A Tail

The video begins with a humorous storytelling segment before transitioning into a discussion on whale feeding habits. Researchers from various institutions have discovered that different whale species tend to feed with their own kind when preying on herring. The team used advanced remote sensing technology to map these interactions over a large marine area. This research provides new insights into marine ecosystems, similar to how the Hubble telescope has expanded our understanding of the universe. The video concludes with a light-hearted exchange about costumes.
