"NEWPORT, Ore. - Humpback whales can migrate thousands of miles to reach
feeding grounds each year, but a new study concludes that their fidelity to
certain local habitats - as passed on through the generations - and the
protection of these habitats are key to understanding the ultimate recovery of
this endangered species."

Whales are another species that have a culture they pass on through
generations.
