Epigenetic estimation of age in humpback whales by Polanowski, A., Robbins, J., Chandler, D., Jarman, Simon

“…Age is a fundamental aspect of animal ecology, but is difficult to determine in many species. Humpback whales exemplify this as they have a lifespan comparable to humans, mature sexually as early as 4 years and have no reliable visual age indicators after their first year. …”
