[edit] Southern Right Whales in India?

According to Sathasivam's Marine Mammals of India (2004) a right whale reportedly stranded at Gajana, Gajarut in 1944, but was subsequently identified as a blue whale, Balaenoptera musculus. One was also reportedly processed at a whaling station in the Seycelles in 1913, but no "substantive evidence" was ever provided. With that said, should the Southern right whale be removed from this list? Jonas Poole (talk) 01:09, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
