"Megapclicks"
-a series of clicks and buzzes from humpback whales apparently
associated with nighttime feeding behaviors — have
been recorded in and around the sanctuary. The study is
the first to document baleen whales producing this type
of sound, normally associated with toothed whales and echolocation.
