 endangered North Atlantic right whale calf that reportedly got entangled in rope suffered life-threatening injuries during her ordeal. That's the opinion of the New England Aquarium, which says the calf in New Brunswick, Canada, was found with rope tied around her back, mouth, and flipper. Since 1980, more than 1,800 entanglements have been documented, which are mainly attributed to the lack of whale-safe fishing technology, specifically in Canada.
