Why Do Whales Sing Through the Deep Ocean?Whales make long sounds that travel far through water, helping them communicate across great distances.
1. At sunrise, a young humpback whale named Luma sang beside the coral reef. Her song curled through the blue water.
2. Luma listened for her family. She heard bubbles, clicks, and the busy chatter of fish, but no whale answered.
3. Luma tried a tiny squeak. The kelp whispered back, but her family did not.
4. So Luma filled her lungs and made one long, low call. It reached farther than her little squeak.
5. The canyon bent the sound, and the ridge made it softer. Luma tried again, longer and deeper.
6. Luma sang once more. Far across the deep, a familiar call came floating back.
7. Luma answered, and her family answered again. Their voices met across the miles of water.
8. Whales make long sounds that travel far through water, helping them communicate across great distances. Luma sang, and the ocean carried her voice home.
