[CINC] Whale of a Surprise: Humpbacks Winter in Antarctica - Yahoo News

 Do you think this is true?  Females would lose SIXTY FIVE percent of body weight?!   I always thought the figure was one third body weight.    Over half - 65% well over a half -  is a heck of a change.
Has anybody heard this figure before?    Maybe I missed it.

"There would be enough krill near Antarctica to fatten up for future years, Van Opzeeland said. Later in their lives, after giving birth and suckling a calf, each female will lose up to 65 percent of her body weight."
