An endangered species of whale is experiencing a mini-baby boom in New England waters, researchers on Cape Cod have said. The North Atlantic right whale is one of the rarest species of whale on the planet, numbering only about 411. That brings the number seen in New England waters alone this year to three. That's big news because the whale's population has been falling, and no calves were seen last year. In all, seven right whale calves have been seen so far this year.
