BIGHT, AU - A record number of whales and their calves have amassed at Head of Bight this year, giving scientists and tourists hope the massive species can one day be taken off the endangered species list.
Research by national whale expert Dr Stephen Burnell has found 66 female Southern Right Whales and their 66 calves in the Great Australian Bight. They were joined by 22 unaccompanied whales, which could not be identified as male or female.
Last year, 38 whales and 29 calves were spotted in the Great Australian Bight, which is hailed as the best place in Australia to see whales.
