Whale makes epic migration, astonishing scientists

# A humpback whale has made one of the longest and most unusual migrations ever recorded. It was seen in the Pacific Ocean off Colombia in 2017, and now popped up near Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean, a distance of at least 13-thousand kilometres. Experts think this epic journey might be down to climate change depleting food stocks or perhaps an odyssey to find a mate. Humpback whales live in all oceans around the world and have one of the longest migrations of any mammal.
