PARIS - Scientists United States (U.S.) managed to uncover the secret behind the whale migration that is still a mystery.
As quoted by AFP on Thursday (10.27.2011), some Killer Whaletail is able to swim as far as 10 thousand kilometers, from the Antarctic to tropical waters, in order not to eat and breed.
According to a study conducted by the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS), these whales swim from the cold waters at high speed, then slowed it up in warm waters. "These fish migrate to the urge to make their skin more shiny and new," said the NMFS.
Parties NMFS said that previously very little was known what the motive of this migration, or how the whales are remembering their path.
