"Extinct Atlantic Gray Whale Spotted Near Nantucket After 200 Years"

TL;DR Summary
A rare gray whale, extinct in the Atlantic for over 200 years, was spotted near Nantucket, marking an incredibly rare event. The New England Aquarium's aerial survey team confirmed the sighting, attributing the whale's presence to the impact of climate change, which has opened up the Northwest Passage and allowed gray whales to potentially travel between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. This sighting serves as a reminder of how quickly marine species respond to climate change when given the opportunity.
