New study reveals behavioral shift in southern right whales' selection of nursing sites
Australia's southern right whale (Eubalaena australis) population was nearly wiped out by whaling in the 1800s. Since whaling of the species was banned in the 1970s, the number of mother-calf pairs that visit Australia each winter has grown from a few individuals to several hundred.
