The recovery of the humpback whale population is a conservation success story. Let's keep it going by leaving their food source alone. Good to see the big supermarkets doing the right thing. Save the krill!

Why do whales breach? My personal theory is they need to propel themselves to the surface to take a breath above the foam when they are in the very tall, stormy waves. Mothers teach their calves to breach which propels them upwards and, like other survival skills, they are fun to learn and practice.
