Whales Born Before ‘Moby Dick’ in 1851 Still Cruising the Ocean Today

Onion articles: the OP links to a adaptnetwork.com article, which references an upworthy.com article; both conclude by directing people to sign petitions at wilderness.org.au, to generate signatures against British Petroleum, which plans to drill four wells in the pristine waters of the Great Australian Bight.

I'm sympathetic, but the articles, while full of interesting whale facts and media, seem to link to a Nature article from 2007...is there news here, other than generating support for the campaign (?)
