Time to chillax

It’s finally Friday. Time to chillax, so dive in deep with these bumpy, but nonetheless seductive singers. North Pacific humpbacks “mate and give birth in Hawaii and then travel to Alaska each summer to feed” (PBS). “The endangered humpback is protected by law and populations have rebounded to nearly 20,000 worldwide, about 20 percent of prior numbers.” Explore.org grants $100,000 to the North Shore Community to protect the special natural areas of Oahu through voluntary land conservation, ensuring safe space for local endangered species like the humpback whale.
