Many will drown in their frenzy 1 to launch their eggs seaward. Most years, only a handful of their offspring survive. But sometimes, if wind and sea and luck are with them, a tidal wave of tiny crablings will return to these shores. There is no way to predict if this will be the year of crab 2.
Far out in the Atlantic Ocean, a cacophony 3 of clicks announces return of titans. Mother and calf 4 listen intently. Only she knows what these clicks mean. The males have arrived, stupendous, battle-scarred bulls. Back from epic 5 wanderings, the oldest may be 70 years old and have traveled 60 times the circumference 6 of the earth. Most of the time, utterly 7 alone. Now gentle greetings take place. The whales seem to revel 8 in displays of affection. Young males bounce sounds off each other, sizing up the competition in more ways than one. The curious calf joins in.
