Abstract
The humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) is a cosmopolitan species found in all oceans with distinct populations. These whales can cross the equator and perform one of the longest migrations among marine mammals. Here, Violi et al document exceptional sightings and the movement of a mother-calf humpback whale pair within the Mediterranean Sea in 2020 and describe changes in the mother's body condition over the sighting period.
