Grey Whale in Italy!
A Grey Whale seen in Italy (near Ponza Island, Tyrrhenian Sea)! The same of Israel in 2010, or another one that get lost from the Pacific routes, or maybe some Grey Whales still survive somewhere in the Atlantic? Or maybe an ID mistake?

Mattia from Italy
It’s not so easy. Ponza Island has many private beaches and bays that you can reach only with a private boat. The public spaces are few. It’s the island where many VIPs from Rome have their villa. Let’s see if it remains in the area, but probably next week the whale will be miles and miles from there.

Here the video of the Grey Whale approaching and touching a boat (and people):
Experts say that it is a bit undernourished.

Mattia from Italy
Yesterday 22 April Wally (the Grey Whale now has a name…) was in front of Fiumicino, just north of Rome.
Here approaching, again, a rubber boat, with Coastal Guard people touching him:
