A newly documented humpback whale migration is changing what scientists thought they knew about whale behavior. Marine researchers recently confirmed that a humpback whale traveled more than 15,000 kilometers between Brazil and Australia, setting what may be the longest confirmed whale migration record ever documented for the species. The discovery has sparked major interest among marine biologists because humpback whales are usually believed to follow inherited migration routes that stay within specific ocean regions.
