Researchers photograph an unidentified right whale calf off Canada

On Nov. 6, the Caledonian Record reported that researchers in Canada had photographed an unidentified baby North Atlantic right whale off the country’s coast. The Globe and Mail also reported the discovery, describing the whale as rare. Bangor Daily News placed the calf near Anticosti Island and said the season had the most productive calving since 2009; the other reports do not give that location or comparison.
