In Australia’s latest survey of whale populations, humpbacks have been seen migrating north along the eastern coastline in ...

Lunge feeding is thought to have arisen first in whales about the size of today’s Antarctic minke whales. This enabled the evolution of whales with gigantic body sizes, such as blue whales, during the ...

A new study of Antarctic minke whales reveals a minimum size limit for whales employing the highly efficient “lunge-feeding” strategy that enabled the blue whale to become the largest animal ...

In a study published in Polar Biology, researchers documented the discovery of an Antarctic minke whale’s carcass in the ...

A new study of Antarctic minke whales reveals a minimum size limit for whales employing the highly efficient "lunge-feeding" strategy that enabled the blue whale to become the largest animal on Earth.

Why this Antarctic minke whale was so far from home, and seemingly alone, is a mystery. “It may be a case of mis-navigation, it may be a case that it just happened to be in the area,” Pirotta ...
