Scientists have made a remarkable discovery off the coast of New England, confirming the presence of a gray whale in Atlantic waters. This species, which was believed to have gone extinct in the Atlantic Ocean two centuries ago, was sighted by researchers from the New England Aquarium in Boston.
The gray whale, typically found in the northern Pacific Ocean, was spotted 30 miles south of Nantucket, Massachusetts, on March 1. This rare sighting marks only the sixth observation of a gray whale in Atlantic and Mediterranean waters in the last 15 years.
