Blue whales fall silent due to starvation, seen as a warning of a collapsing #ocean #ecosystem.
🐋
Blue #whales are calling less than they used to... a strange and heartbreaking shift that scientists link to shrinking krill populations during marine #heatwaves. When these giants struggle to find enough food, they spend more time searching and far less time singing... a change that signals stress in both the animals and the ecosystem they depend on. 🐋

This drop in whale songs is more than a wildlife story... it’s a sign of how climate change is touching even the largest creatures on Earth. When animals this powerful begin to go quiet, it reflects deeper trouble beneath the waves. Their fading calls remind us that protecting the ocean is not optional... it is urgent and necessary.

Researchers studying whales in New Zealand and the California Current noticed the same pattern... quiet years matched with hotter oceans, scattered krill, and rising toxic algal blooms. Humpbacks can adapt a bit better... but blue whales rely heavily on dense krill swarms that are now disappearing. Their silence is becoming a warning that the ocean’s delicate balance is breaking.
