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

A gray whale, extinct in the Atlantic for 200 years, was sighted off New England, highlighting the impact of climate change on sea life. The warming planet has likely allowed the whale to travel through the North-west Passage, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Scientists are thrilled by the sighting but emphasize the rapid response of marine species to climate change. Gray whales, once nearly hunted to extinction, have since recovered and are now considered a species of "least concern" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
