Rare Endangered Whale Spotted In Gulf

A rare sight off the coast of Naples.  

A fishing boat captain this week recorded video of an endangered Right Whale just three miles off the coast.

A biologist at Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota says that seeing a North Atlantic Right Whale in the Gulf of Mexico is extremely rare.  Only five sightings have occurred since 1963, with the last one coming 12 years ago.  

Scientists say fewer than 500 remain on Earth and they're usually seen around Canada and New England.
