An elusive right whale has been spotted off the coast of British Columbia in Canada.
This is the second North Pacific right whale spotted in the area since June, an astonishing fact given that the last sighting before that was in 1951, when whalers killed one of the majestic creatures. The most recent sighting occurred Oct. 25 near the Juan de Fuca Strait near Victoria.
