A new study suggests the humpback whales of the Arabian Sea may constitute a distinct subspecies. The population is already known as an unusual, non-migratory group isolated from other humpback whales for thousands of years. Marine scientists say formal recognition could strengthen conservation measures for the small, vulnerable population, and the finding is being shared among marine biology and cetacean research communities.
Why now: New research proposing a distinct subspecies of an iconic, endangered whale population is drawing attention from marine science enthusiasts.
