TL;DR Summary

A humpback whale has completed one of the longest migrations ever recorded, traveling over 13,000 km from the Pacific Ocean off Colombia to the Indian Ocean near Zanzibar. Scientists suggest this unusual journey may be driven by climate change affecting food availability or the search for new breeding grounds. The whale's movements were tracked using a citizen science database that matches whale tail patterns. This migration highlights potential impacts of climate change and conservation efforts on marine life.
