BBC - Earth News - Mediterranean gray whale appears 'back from the dead'

BBC - Earth News - Mediterranean gray whale appears 'back from the dead': "A gray whale has appeared off the coast of Israel, shocking conservationists.
Gray whales are thought to be extinct across the Atlantic Ocean, so the appearance of an individual within the Mediterranean Sea is a major surprise.



The whale may have inadvertently travelled a huge distance from its natural habitat thousands of kilometres away in the Pacific Ocean.
However, it raises the possibility that gray whales have returned to former haunts in the western hemisphere."
