Twenty-five years ago, scientists working with Indigenous whale hunters in the Arctic showed that bowhead whales could live up to and even over 200 years.

Researchers used more than a decade of acoustic data to monitor bowhead whales' movements between their usual overwintering grounds in the Bering Sea and summer feeding grounds in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas.

This feeding style would match that used by modern bowhead and right whales, which swim with their mouth open near the ocean surface to strain small prey from the seawater.

You’ve sequenced genomes of very long-lived animals such as the bowhead whale, which lives up to 200 years.

Biologists studying bowhead whales, using research samples collected from the eastern Canadian Arctic and West Greenland, made a surprising discovery.
