9、 nobody knew why.The mystery interested Hagelin. So Hagelin asked Straley whether they might leap to smell the airmaybe to locate food or look for danger. Straley replied that it was an interesting idea but there wasnt much evidence that whales have a sense of smell. To investigate the idea further,
10、 the two scientists teamed up.In the summer of 2011，they set up a post on the coast of southern Alaska. The researchers spent hours monitoring the direction of the whales and of the wind. The whales headed into the wind half of the time. This didnt prove that whales leap to smell, but it suggested t
11、hat it is possible.Meanwhile, other researchers in Alaska were studying a region of the brain called the olfactory bulb(嗅觉球) in whales. Olfaction means the ability to smell. Humans also process smells in the olfactory bulb.In identifying a scent, you might think the nose does all of the work. Howeve
12、r, the major role of a nose is to draw chemicals on the air and pass them across sensing cells. As chemicals come into contact, they give signals that travel directly to the bulb and then in the brain for further interpretation.The researchers discovered that the bulb in a whale was more complex tha
13、n the one in a human. In whales, this smellprocessing center takes up a share of the brain six times larger than it does in humans.The brain research suggests that whales probably can smell just as well as peopleand possibly better than humans can. It is supposed that a good sense of smell could hel

T
21、he sounds of the boat engines may be creating too much background noise for the whales to be able to hear each other.The researchers listened to recordings of whale calls made between 15 and 25 years ago, before whale watching became popular. These were compared to more recent recordings.They found
22、that the animals have started to sing for longer than they used to, like a person shouting to a friend across a noisy room.It is believed that the whales are trying to communicate hunting or breeding information. Scientists said that, if this is prevented, the future of the worlds whale population c
