But one day, biologists saw a group of humpback whales trying to stop some killer whales from eating… a seal. And then it happened again. And again. It turns out, all across the oceans, humpback whales are swimming around stopping killer whales from hunting all kinds of animals — from seals to gray whales to sunfish.” I posted this link, with the full text: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/articles/humpback-and-killer https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/articles/humpb... However it appears a different link has been picked up by HN Is this a HN thing, or does there website resolve to radiolab for queries from HN servers.
