We assumed humpback whales had to reach warm tropical waters before giving birth, but a 2025 UNSW-led study found newborn calves as far south as Tasmania — around 1,500 kilometres beyond the accepted calving zone — suggesting some mothers give birth mid-migration and keep swimming north with their calves.
