Humpbacks Too Busy Singing to Notice Apocalypse Swimming By

In a shocking turn of events, humpback whales have revealed that they're basically blind to their greatest threats. It turns out, their ability to see is so poor, they can't even spot an iceberg from a mile away—unless it's wearing neon lights and doing the cha cha slide. Scientists have discovered that whales prioritize night vision over color vision, which is helpful for spotting midnight snacks but not so much for avoiding speeding ships. Their eyes are positioned on the sides of their heads, giving them a wide field of vision, but apparently, it's more like a wide field of confusion. They can't even see the color blue, which is ironic since the ocean is, you know, blue. Researchers are now suggesting that whales might just be relying on ESP to avoid danger, but so far, no whale has been able to predict the arrival of a ship by sense alone—unless it's a really slow ship.
