Gray whale, extinct in the Atlantic, seen in southern New England waters - New England Aquarium

In an incredibly rare event, the New England Aquarium aerial survey team sighted a gray whale off the New England coast last week, a species that has been extinct in the Atlantic for more than 200 yea...

headed to dunkies

Cats have remained extinct in my house since time immemorial and I do not expect they will ever be seen again. But who am I to say they might not not show up in a future drone survey, should some scientist choose to conduct one (without my permission...)

@imawhale.bsky.social al gezien?

This made my jaw drop, what

Isn’t this kind of scary? Especially when considering absolutely freaky warm ocean temps?

Cool! Also, isn’t it super early for whales showing up here?! At least the humpbacks I thought didn’t make an appearance until April.

There's been one bobbing around the Mediterranean since the 2010's

It snuck through the Panama Canal disguised as a very large kayak.

This is exciting but I have a stupid question: is this a good thing or a bad thing (climate change)? 🐋

This made my day, thanks. :)
