Southern hemisphere humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are capital breeders that use stored energy reserves to migrate annually from their high latitude feeding areas to their low latitude breeding areas. They are thought to follow the classical feeding paradigm of feeding exclusively on Antar...
