Could Sperm Whale Habitats Shift? Climate Study | English News A1–B1

Could sperm whale habitats change as the ocean changes? Explore a climate study. CEFR A1–A2 (Beginner–Elementary) / B1 (Intermediate) Target narration speed: A1–A2 — 100 WPM / B1 — 135 WPM. This lesson revisits research published 8 October 2026 on the southwest Indian Ocean. Computer models explore possible habitat changes by 2100; this is not a report of observed future migration. A smaller habitat loss in the strongest warming model does not mean warming is safer: not every effect was included. Learn 5 words, 3 expressions, two story levels, repeat listening, 3 quiz questions, 10 practice tasks and Word of the Day: shift. CEFR/speed are targets, not certification or measured audio.
