An animal is only as good as his next meal, especially when you’re a humpback whale!

• Due to the world’s ever-changing climate, the ice that normally sends krill running has not been reaching as far as usual.
• Since this ice has remained at bay, the krill have decided to hang around the arctic a little while longer, and where there is krill, there are humpbacks!
• These humpback whales have accordingly delayed their migration with the decision of the krill to remain in the arctic.
• The most important thing to an animal is its food source! Sometimes animals will be forced to make changes in order to stay fed.
