Have you ever heard of a
Right Whale? I know I haven't until I was sent this article.
Right Whales are an endangered species of whale that migrate from their summer feeding grounds near Nova Scotia to The Florida area in the winter.

This unlucky Juvenal
Right Whale had been tangled in a fishing
rope and was recently freed from the
rope after two attempts. (here is the full story
Whale freed in rare at-sea sedation ) In the first attempt they were able to remove some of the
rope. For the second attempt they had to sedate the
Right Whale. From what I can find on the web this is only the second they have sedated a
whale in the open sea.
Thank you Ben! I'm trying to keep a sharp eye out on out of the ordinary outdoor stories for you!

I do believe that they gained their name as they were the 'right' whale to hunt years ago, though this did almost lead to their extinction.
