Whenever someone introduces a speaker and they go on about their history and accomplishments, I wonder what would be said about me. "She watched Free Willy when she was 3 and decided to be a whale biologist, and never bothered to rethink it. It worked out by pure accident."

On a recent aerial survey in the Gulf of Maine, our #AndersonCabotCenter scientists spotted a diverse array of marine mammals, including a #BlueWhale, humpback whales, and a right whale mom and calf. More: bit.ly/3QKgs71 πŸ“Έ Taken under NMFS Permit #25739

Keep your eyes peeled! Someone spotted a North Atlantic right whale skim feeding at the surface just off Long Pond, Conception Bay on 1 Nov. Lots of copepods in the area. New England Aquarium IDed her as #1408 , "Freckles", born in 2013 and never before recorded in Canada.

A century long debate, pygmy right #whales' origin has been settled: they are the last of the cetotheres, a whale group thought to be long extinct. Grouped with #rightwhales because they skim-feed, the adaptation may have what prevented their extinction. phys.org/news/2023-07-whale-…

Whale of a debate put to rest

Researchers have finally settled a decades-long dispute about the evolutionary origins of the pygmy right whale.

If I have to hear/see one more ad about how "taxes are high, grocery costs are rising, we're all feeling the squeeze. But if you own your home, we can help!" I am going to lose my entire shit. How are HOMEOWNERS the demographic most in need of financial assistance??

The satellite tagged female killer whale keeps transmitting! She (and presumably the rest of her group) have made 2 trips into the northern Gulf of St. Lawrence, but otherwise has stuck near the coast of Newfoundland's northern peninsula since 27 July. (red = most recent)

Also @GeorgeStLive maybe look into who gets your media passes, because that guy definitely was not doing any media work, and he definitely was drunkenly groping multiple women. Not a great look.

We were standing near a trash can at a concert (5🌟 entertainment value, highly recommend) and a man with a media pass walked into the side of it while brandishing the pass like he fully expected it would make the garbage can move. And later he did it AGAIN, from the other side!

The DW from Arthur meme. The top panel has a sign to which the following text has been added: "Stop petting the cat, you are so allergic to her". The bottom panel shows DW standing in front of the sign with the caption, "That sign won't stop me, because I can't read!"

I look up from shamefully eating cake straight out of the box to see this, and honestly she's right

I am not a cat person, but I have also not stopped bothering this creature since I got to her house

Ningaloo Aviation in Australia has reported the below sighting: a mother humpback whale with TWO CALVES!!! It is unknown if they are twins (I don’t think we’ve ever seen more than one calf in humpbacks, but need to research more) or if she adopted a second but this is RARE!!
