A humpback whale was seen in New York City's East River, leading to a Coast Guard boater warning.

A humpback whale was spotted in New York City's East River, surprising locals and prompting a Coast Guard warning for boaters to avoid the area. This is the first sighting in two years, according to Gotham Whale, an organization dedicated to whale research. The whale likely followed a food source into the river despite the high boat traffic. The Coast Guard warned boaters to be cautious, as the species was initially uncertain, possibly a humpback or an endangered North Atlantic right whale.
