Blue whales vanish from Galápagos waters
Original: Blue whales have gone missing off the Galápagos and scientists can't find them https://www. livescience.com/animals/whal
Blue whales that normally frequent waters off the Galápagos Islands have disappeared, and researchers say they cannot currently locate them. Scientists suspect the El Niño climate pattern may be driving the whales elsewhere, likely by altering ocean temperatures and the food supply. The development has drawn attention from marine biology enthusiasts concerned about the species and the wider effects of a warming ocean on marine life.
Why now: Concern over the possible link between El Niño and the disappearance of an endangered species is drawing attention.
