Humpback whale 'Moon' traveled thousands of miles from Canada to Hawaii with a broken spine.
In"considerable pain," a determined humpback whale tracked by researchers for more than a decade, recently finished swimming more than 3,000 miles from Canada to Hawaii – all with a broken spine.
The whale's journey left her emaciated and covered in whale lice as a testament to her severely depreciated condition, researchers said. "Without the use of her tail, she was literally doing the breaststroke to make that migration. It's absolutely amazing," she told the outlet."But it also just breaks your heart."
