Michelle York+FollowWhales Are Blowing Bubble Rings at Us?!Scientists just caught humpback whales making perfect bubble rings—like underwater smoke donuts—when humans are around. Unlike their hunting bubbles, these rings seem playful or maybe even a way to say hi! Some whales even used one nostril to make them (seriously, how cool is that?). The best part? They only do it when people are nearby, hinting at curiosity or a wild attempt at interspecies communication. Next time you’re whale watching, keep your eyes peeled for these magical moments! #WhaleWednesday #NatureIsWild #InterspeciesCommunication #Science260Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowBladerunner the Whale’s Wild SurvivalDid you know there’s a humpback whale named Bladerunner who survived a brutal boat strike off Sydney in 2001? The propeller left her with deep scars, but she kept swimming—and even had a calf years later! She’s become a symbol of resilience, but her story also highlights how common (and dangerous) boat strikes are for whales. Researchers are still tracking her, hoping her journey helps us protect more whales in the future. Bladerunner is living proof that nature is tough, but it needs our help! #BladerunnerWhale #WildlifeRescue #MarineConservation #WhaleWednesday #OceanStories #Science49838Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowWhale Pee: The Ocean's Secret Sauce🌊 Did you know whales are oceanic gardeners? 🐋 Their epic pee breaks distribute thousands of tons of nutrients, fueling ecosystems from pole to tropics. It's a natural wonder how their "whale pee funnel" supports coral reefs and plankton! 🌺 Imagine what restoring whale numbers could mean for our planet. Let's keep these giant circulators thriving. #OceanMagic #WhaleWednesday #EcoHeroes #Science1313Share
