Whales Dying in Record Numbers Near Argentina : Discovery News: "Southern right whales are dying in record numbers along Argentina's Patagonian coast, resulting in the largest die-off of great whales that has ever been documented, according to the Wildlife Conservation Society.

Since 2005, a total of 308 dead right whales were recorded in the waters around Peninsula Valdes, which is an important calving ground for this species. Eighty-eight percent of the dead were calves less than 3 months old. That means about 28 percent of all calves in the region appear to be dying, and no one knows why."
