    Next: Sperm Whales Sleeping Vertically

    Durham shared that this krill location has led to numerous whale sightings throughout the summer, with some of the animals coming right up to the harbor. While getting an eyeful of fin is a fun surprise for most New Yorkers, it worries experts like Durham, who told Gothamist it's like "having a really cool animal play by a really big highway." Luckily, there have been no instances of whales getting injured in the New York City area yet this year.
