Since last Wednesday, the US Coast Guard has received dozens of phone calls reporting an unusual sight in New York’s Hudson River – a humpback whale is playing tourist in the river, from the Statue of Liberty all the way to the George Washington Bridge.
“Oftentimes in the past when we have seen these animals in and around these waters we become concerned that they are sick or injured because they are not typically found here,” the director of the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Ocean Giants program, Howard Rosenbaum, told CBS News . “So far with the images we have seen we don’t have reason to believe that.”
