Marine biologists spotted a rare right whale off North Carolina‘s Outer Banks on the day before Halloween.
A research operation technician, John Felter, who attends the Coastal Studies Institute in Wanchese, was on a boat with five others on October 30 when he saw the cetacean.
Felter recalled hearing the captain shout, ‘Whale!’ but when he turned toward the front of the boat, he saw a large splash, which initially made him worry he’d missed the moment.
