I just tried brave search:

--

The name of the young humpback whale that made headlines for swimming into Pillar Point Harbor in Half Moon Bay in September 2024 is Teresa T.

While the whale was not officially named by government agencies, the moniker "Teresa T" was widely adopted by the public, local media, and residents who followed her stay in the harbor. Experts from the Marine Mammal Center and the California Academy of Sciences monitored her to ensure she did not become stressed, advising the public to keep a respectful distance of at least 100 yards.

The whale was observed feeding on bait fish and krill before eventually exiting the harbor on her own.

-- end --

My experience so far on topics I have some level of mastery is that the initial answers can sometimes be egregiously wrong. With brave's tool, I can typically force it admit after 3 or 4 pushbacks that 'You are absolutely right". Same thing happened with this Teresa T business. 2nd q as to number of sources for the name still insist on "ABC7 News" and "NBC Bay Area" as sources that "picked up the name". At 3rd attempt at concrete links, it admits "informal media contexts" picked up the name. Finally at 4, being informed that S.W. was doing an experiment it pulls up a comment of yours from 21 days ago.

Future belongs to elite classes that can educate their children with actual tutors. Back to the future, proles.

Hah! Yeah, it was me and only me.
