Humpback Whale Vision: A Problem for Survival

Humpback whales, known for their graceful songs, face a significant survival challenge: remarkably poor eyesight.

This visual impairment makes them highly susceptible to accidental collisions with ships and entanglement in fishing gear.

Research indicates their eyes struggle to perceive fine details, resulting in a blurry, shadowy view of their environment.

Scientists hope that understanding these limitations will enable the development of strategies to protect these magnificent creatures.
