Scientists discovered a baby right whale off Canada. They say it’s a cause for joy

Scientists who study whales are heartened by an unexpected discovery of a baby right whale off Canada.

First the slope, now the crossing itself - WOW! The wildlife isn't wasting any time! 🐾 Yesterday, we shared the first photo of a coyote climbing the slope of the unfinished Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing. Now, we have a coyote ON TOP OF THE CROSSING and above a freeway that carries more than 300,000 vehicles a day! National Park Service biologists installed remote wildlife cameras Tuesday afternoon, and at approximately 1:37 a.m. today, they captured something remarkable: a coyote moving north along the crossing's deck, high above the 101 Freeway, one of the busiest roadways of the nation! This marks the first documented sighting of a larger mammal on the crossing itself. Seeing wildlife explore the structure before construction is even finished is incredibly exciting! The crossing is scheduled to officially open to wildlife on Dec. 2, but apparently the animals didn't get the memo. They're already crashing the party! 🎉 Photo: National Park Service wildlife camera footage
