Coming home

Some good news.  The New Zealand population of southern right whales, hunted to extinction in their home grounds over a century ago, have found their way home.  Researchers have determined that at least seven whales are now migrating from the sub-Antarctic waters now used by the species to the coastal waters of New Zealand.  They expect more to follow.
