whale song
Underwater mammal music
Whale song refers to the patterned vocalizations produced by whales, especially humpbacks and other baleen whales.
These complex sequences of moans, cries, and clicks can last for hours and travel vast distances underwater.
Males typically sing during mating season, though the songs' exact purpose remains debated.
We listened to whale song recordings at the aquarium.
