Abstract

FEATURES THE PYGMY right whale (Caperea marginata) is an enigma in the whale world. However, new research led by University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney, analysing chemical clues hidden in the jawlines of pygmy right whales, confirms what scientists have long suspected - these majestic aquatic mammals behave quite differently to their much larger whale relatives. Uncovering chemical clues in whale bristles Studying an animal the size of a whale in a lab - even a relatively small species like the pygmy right whale - is challenging.
