28 Oct 2010 - We have the Olympic Games, the Commonwealth Games, the Asia Games, the East Asia Games et cetera; people aim for the highest possible and break new records all the times. The number one spot will bring fame and glory, but little attention goes to animals who set amazing records. A female humpback whale swam 9,650 km from Brazil to Madagascar, a journey that set a world record for a migrating mammal. The findings help researchers understand the behavior of the whales, Peter Stevick of the College of the Atlantic in Maine wrote in the Biology Letters. The whale, identified by her natural marking and DNA, was first seen off in Brazil in August 1999. She will not even be mentioned in the Guinness Book of Records.
