TL;DR Summary

Blue whales, the largest animals on Earth, are making a comeback in the Seychelles after being wiped out by Soviet hunters. Researchers detected the presence of blue whales in the area, suggesting they could be breeding there. The species, once prolific in the Indian Ocean, was heavily hunted in the 20th century, resulting in a significant decline in their population. However, conservation efforts and a ban on whaling have led to an increase in their numbers. The return of blue whales to the Seychelles is seen as a conservation success.
