The researchers attributed the unexpected discovery to the effects of climate change and warming waters.

Scientists have spotted a rare gray whale in the Atlantic Ocean, which was thought to have disappeared from the region more than 200 years ago. Forbes reported it.

The gray whale swam about 50 kilometers from the island of Nantucket, which is part of the US state of Massachusetts. At this time, he dives, floats and feeds something.

Although gray whales are not considered endangered, they live almost exclusively in the North Pacific Ocean after being hunted to extinction in the Atlantic more than two centuries ago.

Scientists attribute the unexpected discovery to the consequences of climate change. Specifically, in the Arctic Ocean, which gives whales an ice-free passage in the summer between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

Orla O’Brien, a researcher at the Anderson Cabot Ocean Research Center, said the observation was “a reminder of how quickly marine species can respond to climate change when given the chance.”

Environmentalists are increasingly concerned about the decline in whale populations. One of the biggest problems is the North Atlantic right whale. There are about 360 left, including 70 breeding females.

It was previously reported that marine researchers recorded on video the moment a killer whale named Starbord killed a great white shark.

For the first time, humpback whales have been caught on camera mating. Both men
