This image provided by NOAA, shows a rare sei whale visiting the waters off New England on May 25, 2024. . A large number of whales is visiting the waters off New England, and the group includes an unusually high number of an endangered species , said scientists who study the animals.
Other highlights included two orcas - an uncommon sight off New England - one of which was toting a tuna in its mouth, NOAA said. There were also endangered North Atlantic right whales as well as humpback, fin, minke and sperm whales, the agency said. “It is not unusual that there are a lot of whales in the area this time of year. But since we do not survey every day, or in the same areas every time we fly, catching such a large aggregation with such a variety of species on one of our flights is the exception rather than the rule,” Frady said.
