    It's good to have groups of whales from various feeding grounds mix in
    the breeding grounds, because a strong genetic group of whales will be
    developed. When there is one group of whales, they would have to mate
    with their family members. Therefore, the offspring will have the same
    old genes. The reproduction process would continue with the same genes
    and the group of whales would be a weak genetic group. When there are
    many groups of whales mating, they can mate with whales which are not
    from their own family. Therefore, the offspring will have a diversity
    of genes from each parent. In that way , the reproduction process will
    go on with diffrent genes being mixed and passed to the offspring. The
    outcome will be a strong genetic group.
