The image shows a suspended whale model in a museum corridor, accented by blue duotones. It aims to indicate the ocean's essence, supporting marine life awareness. The blend of architecture and color fosters a serene, reflective atmosphere.

Had a Whale of a time listening to We Care, see what I did there. Clearly my favorite Swedish band, sorry ABBA, but you can't Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe like them ;)

The whole album is a joy to run too and the naughty lyrics on "I'll Do Ya", well let's just say don't sing loudly along in a public place ;)

Oh, I found this nice shelter on the run, even comes with running water and a larder.

How #whale urine benefits #ocean #ecosystem
Team looked at whale urine and ecological benefits it provides, distributing key nutrients over thousands of miles during migrations. “coastal areas often have clear waters, a sign of low nitrogen, and many have coral reef ecosystems,” said Roman. “movement of nitrogen and other nutrients can be important to the growth of phytoplankton, or microscopic algae, and provide food for sharks and other fish and many invertebrates.”

#Humpback #Whale Song Follows #ZipfsLaw, A Fundamental Law Of Human #Language
And some #whales exhibit Menzerath’s law even more strongly than humans.
#MenzerathsLaw and Zipf’s focus on this kind of streamlining. Menzerath’s is all about how longer words or vocalizations are more efficient if made up of shorter elements (like syllables or notes), while Zipf’s law states that common and shorter elements will be used more often in efficient language than longer, rarer ones.
