When animals can move freely from place to place, they’re able to find food, breed, and establish new home territories. This map shows corridors (in magenta) used by populations of an African species as they move between areas. Do you know which species uses these corridors? (Hint: It’s the biggest animal on land.) |

Size
Humpback whales are up to 60 feet long and can weigh up to 40 tons. In one day, a single whale might eat 3,000 pounds of small fish, plankton, and krill (shrimp-like crustaceans). |
Interesting info
These whales are famous for their songs, but only males sing—for up to 24 hours at a time! They pick up themes from each other, spreading their culture across thousands of miles. |

Humpback whales live in all the world’s oceans. Some migrate 5,000 miles between tropical breeding grounds and colder feeding grounds. Individuals can be identified by their flukes (tails). They’re threatened by entanglement in fishing gear, vessel collisions, noise from human activity, coastal habitat destruction, and climate change. |
