Snow Cone and Calf Spotted off Cumberland Island! 🐋 North Atlantic Right Whale #3560, or Snow Cone, was first seen entangled in March 2021 in Cape Cod Bay. Several disentanglement attempts were made in which the trailing rope was successfully shortened. The calf is new and the second documented in the Southeast this season! It's not entangled, but has been observed swimming in, through and around the ropes. General opinion is that they are short enough that the calf likely won't become entangle
