TPO-49 - Integrated Writing Task Like many creatures, humpback whales migrate long distances for feeding and mating purposes. How animals manage to migrate long distances is often puzzling. In the case of humpback whales, we may have found the answer: the

The reading passage says, humpback whales migrate long distances to find food, like as all animals in the world. So that’s mean they should know whatever they are going and they have never lost anymore. so the question is how they could do it? They maybe use navigating by the stars, like as human’s sailors, but the lecture ignores it, it’s not convincing, for example dogs are smart but they are in average of intelligent group, and most of their jobs are following their instinct.

First, humpback whales migrate in straight lines. Many birds and other terrestrial creatures, for example, use physical landmarks to help them stay on track as they migrate. Whales, which swim in the open ocean, cannot rely on land features; they could, however, rely on stars at night to provide them with external signs by which to maintain direction over long distances. But the lecture says, they able to do some external objects and the have magnetite and it make them sensitive migrate.

Second, they are sometimes observed floating straight up for minutes at a time, their heads above the water as though they were looking upward. The behavior is known as spy-hopping, and it is very rare among marine animals. One explanation for the function of spy-hopping is that the whales are looking at the stars, which are providing them with information to navigate by. But the lecture says, they couldn’t looking to stars because of their brain structure to hunting and swimming , so they couldn’t understanding the stars also, what happened in days without any stars in sky are they lost? Of course not, so it’s the biggest reason to reject the reading passage.
