Human musicians must practise for thousands of hours to perfect their performance skills, and the same may be true for humpback whales.<\/p>\n

It is widely believed that male humpbacks (Megaptera novaeangliae<\/em>) sing to attract mates, but zoologists have recently come to realise that they also sing at high-latitude feeding<\/span> grounds, months before they migrate to the low-latitude breeding grounds where they pair up with a mate.<\/p>\n
