Silently entering the water, I spotted two humpback whales sleeping in the distance, resembling suspended school buses. Wildlife scientist Vanessa Pirotta shares her encounters, from being ‘mugged’ by whales to being enveloped in their snot. In “Humpback Highway,” Pirotta delves into the mysterious world of these giants, exploring their life cycle and the challenges they face from humans. She highlights the importance of whale emissions for both ocean health and human understanding, alongside groundbreaking technologies enabling satellite communication and underwater observation.
