The Arabian Sea humpback whale population, residing off the coast of Oman, is estimated to consist of just over 80 individuals. This small group is classified as endangered, raising concerns about its survival.
What sets these whales apart from other humpback populations is their unique behavior; they do not undertake seasonal migrations, a trait that is uncommon among their species.
This non-migratory behavior highlights the distinct ecological characteristics of the Arabian Sea humpback whales, emphasizing the need for continued conservation efforts to protect this vulnerable population.
