There must have been so much unseen behavior when there were millions more whales in the ocean. Here's hoping that we can see more

Given the current trajectory of whale populations, 'we' probably won't be seeing that. Maybe in many generations of humans.

Well, the population growth probably isn't linear, so maybe?

Warming will kill off most of the systems these animals depend on within 30 years.

And will give way to many which thrive or evolve to thrive in hotter climates?

It's gonna take a minute (on a geological timescale) for the ecosystems to be able to reliably sustain megafauna again.

I hope we create whalegemma (similar to dolphingemma) so we can explain to them how to co-exist better with humans (e.g. avoid this area during their whale hunting season, travel to this area if you get sick or tangled in rope).

There is a group that is attempting to communicate with whales by training a transformer based model on whale sounds.
no, i think they're just going to start a podcast.

> Bursting from their enormous lungs at over 300mph (483km/h), a humpback whale's blow can rise up to 7m (23ft) into the air.
Pick a lane BBC.
But this is great news. Also the fact that whales "transport huge amounts of nutrients across the globe" (linking to [1]) is fascinating. The role of whales in sucking up critters in one place and pooping them out elsewhere being a fundamental dynamic that drives global ocean ecosystems... just chefs kiss
