🌊🦑 Sperm #whales consume massive amounts of colossal #squid, but we have rarely seen these giant #animals alive in the deep #ocean.

Researchers are now using environmental #DNA to identify species by filtering genetic material directly from seawater samples. The process helps track known animals and search for unknown organisms.

🧵4/4
After the humpback was freed from a sandbank in Lübecker Bucht boats guided him north. That way the young male humpback escaped a fishing boat. Then he got stuck again on a sandbank (near Wismar) and was able to free himself with the rising sea level.

He stayed in shallow waters for 2 days with reduced movement and breathing. Yesterday night he swam again. First towards Wismar harbor, then back to sea.
