Presented by Ari Friedlaender & Brooke Mitchell
Whale researcher Ari Friedlaender, Ph.D., has taken more than 40 trips to Antarctica to study whale behavior -- including traveling with Nat Hab guests on the Hanse Explorer! Brooke Mitchell talks with Dr. Friedlaender about his research on whale biology and behavior and how these cetaceans adapt to changes in their environments. Learn what whale pregnancy rates can tell us about climate change, find out how scientists get close enough to these colossal creatures to study them, and discover the effects of ecotourism on whale conservation.
