Submission guidelines
Whales are generally migratory, often traveling thousands of miles to feed in colder regions and breed in warmer waters. They live in social structures ranging from solitary lifestyles (like many baleen whales) to complex, tight-knit pods (like orcas). Communication is key in whale societies, especially in toothed whales, which rely heavily on vocalizations and echolocation.
