Yes.

They can also get infected by cetacean morbillivirus.

That's a respiratory virus that has caused mass die-offs in whales and dolphins.

And researchers say that using drones is a non-invasive way to study whale infection rates, which have usually only been collected once a whale has died.

That's lead author Elena Costa at Nord University.

She said the team also detected herpes virus in five whale groups over different years, but they didn't find avian influenza nor Brucella, a bacteria that animals can pass to humans.

The work was published in the journal BMC Veterinary Research.

Yeah, you can't really treat a sick whale in the wild, but knowing which whales are sick can help scientists prevent those viruses from jumping into people, like in Norway, where people actually swim with whales.

And understanding whale health can tell scientists about ocean health.

There are, turns out.

And without breaking FCC guidelines, Juana, I want you to imagine your favorite swear word.

Don't say it.

Just hold it in your mind.

Had to pick just one.

I'm holding it.

Okay.

Next time you need to summon your physical strength, say one of these words.

And now his team at Keele and the University of Alabama in Huntsville has a possible explanation.

Psychologists even have a term for this, state disinhibition.
