Global warming and overfishing. And any good news we can dig up.

Did you know that some of the aussie humpbacks change their call every 2 years or so.
Researchers have found that the west coast ones copy the songs from their east coast mates (probably when they meet up in the sthn ocean) but not the other way around. Obviously followers and not leaders

Someone asked if was just the east coast ones heading up the west coast but this has been disproved
They learn the song in the sth ocean when they all meet up and then sing the following year..

Amazing stuff. Still so much to learn, new species of critters being discovered all the time, bizarre behaviours - you wonder how evolution could have done some of it.
