Nosso estudo mais recente analisa mais detalhadamente a vida emocional das baleias-jubarte
Our latest study takes a closer look at the emotional lives of humpback whales.
The discovery challenges a long-held assumption about where and when whales feed – and could help us better protect them.
Australian scientists have noticed a rise in the number of whales getting entangled in ropes and fishing lines. Rescuing them is a job for experts.
The findings reshape our understanding of how social marine mammals interact across species.
Whale strandings are undoubtedly sad events. But with the help of science, the body can be disposed of in a way that doesn’t harm nature or people.
Young sharks are gathering at a popular beach. Here’s why we should skip our fear response and go for wonder – and protection
If a whale comes across a patch of kelp, it may well start playing with it. This practice may also be useful to rid whales of unwanted passengers.
We want good news on climate change. But whales storing enough carbon needs more evidence.
Australia is considering removing humpback whales from the threatened species list after their numbers rebounded in recent decades. But the mammals face new threats.
When humpback whales shift their distribution and behaviour, it can lead to unexpected human encounters and new challenges.
More than 450 long-finned pilot whales are stranded in Tasmania. Saving them is a race against time.
