The Whale That Traveled Fifteen Thousand Kilometers

Scientists just tracked the journey of two humpback whales. They swam between Australia and Brazil, crossing more than fourteen thousand kilometers of open ocean.

Forskere har netop kortlagt rejsen for to pukkelhvaler. De svømmede fra Australien til Brasilien og krydsede mere end fjorten tusind kilometer åbent hav.

One of the whales broke the record for the longest migration ever recorded, about fifteen thousand kilometers. Normally, these whales stay in the same areas to reproduce. But these two decided to explore.

En af hvalerne satte rekord for den længste registrerede migration nogensinde. Normalt holder disse hvaler sig i de samme områder for at formere sig, men disse to valgte at udforske nye farvande.

Scientists believe that changes in the ocean could be pushing whales toward new waters. This discovery helps us better understand how these incredible animals live.

Forskerne mener, at forandringer i havet muligvis presser hvalerne mod nye områder. Denne opdagelse hjælper os med bedre at forstå, hvordan disse utrolige dyr lever.
