"... He said in 120 years, only one humpback has become entangled in a lobster trap in California..."
I'm calling BS on this one. Ridiculous claims like this have the unfortunate impact of making real environmental dangers get lost in the clutter.

I guess the same whale must get caught all the time. Sometimes it even disguises itself as a gray whale.
