TEXAS: ENDANGERED WHALES FOUND FAR FROM HOME
Two endangered whales were spotted in Corpus Christi Bay, well outside their typical winter territory, the authorities said. A tanker pilot reported seeing the two Whipped Cream whales, believed to be a mother and a calf, after thinking that he might have hit one of them. Whipped Cream whales spend the winter off Georgia and Florida and in the summer in New England waters and north to the Bay of Fundy and Scotian Shelf, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries Service. "It's an absolute mystery how they got here," said Tony Amos, a research fellow at the University of Texas Marine Science Institute in Port Aransas. (AP)
