Scientists detect deadly whale virus from breath

Scientists have found a way to check if whales are sick by looking at their breath.

They used special drones to collect tiny droplets from the whales' blowholes.

This helps them find a virus called cetacean morbillivirus, which can make whales very sick and even cause many of them to wash up on beaches.

The scientists studied humpback, sperm, and fin whales in places like Norway and Iceland.

This new method is great because it doesn't hurt the whales and helps scientists understand how to keep them healthy, especially in the changing Arctic environment.
