Australian humpback whales adopt new love song . ‘Male humpbacks migrating along the east coast have stunned scientists by
abandoning their signature mating song and adopting a new tune from a
small group of visiting Indian Ocean whales.

“There has been a cultural takeover by the west coast whales,” marine
scientist Michael Noad told Reuters today.

“What is staggering is that all the males have switched to the new song
which was brought over by a few ambassadors from the west coast,” said
Noad, co-author of a report on the musical revolution in the latest
issue of scientific journal Nature
