>BREAKING NEWS: hey check it out guys, THIS WHALE'S A FAG AAAHAHAHAwhat did the author mean by publishing this article
>>5060694they knew you'd talk about it
>>5060638wasnt one of them actually a corpse?
>>5060771no, but it was weaker and visibly sick, and may have eventually died from the (probably boat-related) jaw injury that it had preventing effective feeding. they hadn't seen the weaker whale since.fun fact: this homosexual encounter is the only documented observation of humpbacks mating, period. humanity has never once observed them having straight sex.
>>5060694>what did the author mean by publishing this articleIt's pretty obvious. Find every example of a defective behavior in history and nature in an attempt to promote it. Pedo activists online have doing their own version of that by mentioning Stoats."Males will also take advantage of any female kits inside the nest and mate them too, despite these babies being just two weeks old! This can seem a little alarming to us, humans, but it guarantees the stoat passes on his genes."https://www.robertefuller.com/blogs/blog/stoats-their-alarming-breeding-habits?>>5060771>>5060860(1) The article actually claims that it's the first time whales have been seen copulating which is flat out wrong. So it's safe to assume other details are wrong.(2) This is what the article actually says -"The photographs in the paper show Whale A lifting his head, arching his lower back and lowering his tail, forming an S-shape—a position whales sometimes assume when feeling threatened or stressed.What’s more, Whale A was sick. He was emaciated, and his body was covered in whale lice (Cyamus boopis), turning him a brownish color. These parasites live on a humpback’s skin and can multiply rapidly when the host is injured or sick. A serious jaw injury, probably from a boat strike, was likely the cause of this particular whale’s poor health because it affected his ability to feed. “It looks like the other male took advantage of the weak individual,” Meynecke says. Whale B was seen the following year, but there have been no more sightings of Whale A"https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/humpback-whale-sex-observed-for-the-first-time-ever-between-two-males/Yeah wow, how romantic. What a win for the LGBT community. Also, I wouldn't be at all surprised that the injury didn't come from a boat but actually from the whale that was raping it to death.

>>5060887>The article actually claims that it's the first time whales have been seen copulatinghumpbacks specifically, and that's correct. we've never seen them have sex in the wild - we don't even know where exactly in their migratory patterns they do it. the ocean is big, IIRC there are actually a decent number of whale species we've never seen having sex.it's a different case with the dolphin subgroup of cetaceans (including orcas) who are horny rapist bastards basically all of the time
>>5060893>humpbacks specifically, and that's correctDepends on what part of the article your reading.It opens with -"Humpback Whale Sex Observed for the First Time Ever, between Two Males"But it ends with -"Seeing whale copulation for the first time gives researchers more information about how it occurs, as well as the respective positions the whales can assume during mating. "And if they meant humpback copulation that's still wrong, as I've already said."Although unconfirmed, copulation was reported in Antarctica in January 1948 by scientists onboard a Japanese whaling ship (Nishiwaki and Hayashi, 1950). The described surface behaviors, paired lunging with ventral sides together, seem surprisingly conspicuous to go unobserved for the following eighty years but the experienced Japanese whaling crew had prior knowledge of this behavior and it matches very closely with the description given by Lillie (1910),"https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/marine-science/articles/10.3389/fmars.2025.1545526/fullin this article written in1948 the mating of humpback whales is described in great detail on pages 183,184,185. becuase it had already been observed many times at that point.https://www.icrwhale.org/pdf/SC003132-190.pdfYou need to remember that scientific American is pop-science. They don't care if they get basic information wrong.
