Scientists experienced an"incredibly rare event" last week when they saw a gray whale cruising through New England's coastal waters.
The gray whale is known for its mottled gray body and supreme size — females top out at 49 feet long and weigh 90,000 pounds , on average. It lacks a dorsal fin; instead, it has a dorsal hump on its lower back, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. "I didn't want to say out loud what it was, because it seemed crazy," Orla O'Brien, associate research scientist at the New England Aquarium's Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life, said in the statement.
