A humpback whale’s tail is as unique as a fingerprint. The tail — mostly black, with a wash of white speckles near the edge — belongs to a whale named Old Timer. First spotted in 1972, Old Timer is now a male of at least 53 years, making him “the oldest known humpback whale in the world,” said Dr. Humpback whale populations, once severely depleted by commercial whaling, have rebounded in recent decades. Scores of seabirds and marine mammals, including humpback whales, died.

It can take them years or even decades to perfect a new variety of fruit or vegetable that tastes better, grows faster or stays fresh longer. But their work has taken on a new urgency in the face of an increasingly erratic climate. Recent floods left more than a third of California’s table grapes rotting on the vine. Breeding new crops that can thrive under these assaults is a long game. And, of course, the new fruits and vegetables have to taste good.
