Humpback Whale's Record 8,000-Mile Migration Puzzles Scientists

TL;DR Summary
A male humpback whale has set a record for the longest migration ever recorded for the species, traveling over 8,000 miles from Colombia to Zanzibar. This extraordinary journey highlights the impact of climate change on marine life, as rising ocean temperatures disrupt krill populations, a primary food source for humpback whales. Scientists suggest that the whale's migration may be a response to food scarcity, changes in breeding habitats, and increased competition among males, reflecting broader shifts in marine ecosystems due to global warming.
