#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.

""I was contacted by these two photographers, and they told me that they had captured what they believed to be the first photographic evidence of two #humpback #whales mating," Stack said. "I was a bit skeptical at first."

But sure enough, the photo they sent showed two humpbacks mid-coitus, one clearly penetrating the other."

I remember this story. Don't know why they don't explain better. The injured whale was looking for help or food, and kept evading the other male. But he was tired from not being able to eat with his broken jaw, so he couldn't escape and allowed himself to be raped. That's how the article explained it a couple years ago. This article points out that over 1,500 animal species have been documented to exhibit homosexual behavior.

Whales cradle their calves! I read about it the other day and it inspired this piece.

When my whalewatching group used to stay at #ByronBay to watch the #humpback migrations, we regularly ate at Earth & Sea Pizza.

Most ordered pizza with pineapple which drew sighs from the purists.

Then, one year I turned up with bananas & asked the owners if they’d add banana to my pizza as well as pineapple.

Everyone laughed at me. It tasted fantastic. I ordered that pizza for the rest of our trip. Others did too.

On my final #whalewatch I was surprised to see it on their menu 🤯
