“That’s how she got her name,” says Albert. “She’s definitely an individual.” Then, on New Year’s Eve 2025, Callosity Back returned to Florida. A call came through from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to say that an unidentified whale and her calf had been spotted off the state’s central-eastern coast. Albert describes how she and her colleagues raced to the pool deck behind a nearby beachside hotel to get a better view and soon realized it was Callosity Back.
