Beaked whale washes ashore, dies
from floridatoday.com:
"
A 15-foot beaked whale washed ashore near Melbourne Beach earlier Tuesday afternoon and died on the beach, an official from the Hubbs-Seaworld Research Institute said.
“It probably weighs about 1,500 pounds,” said Megan Stolen, a research scientist for the institute. “It is a deep water whale. We don’t see them very often.”
The whale was secured to the beach with ropes, Stolen said, and a necropsy to determine the cause of death will be conducted today.
Stolen said some people tried to push it back in to the water about 4 p.m. Tuesday.
“We always tell people not to push back a beached whale into the water. They inevitably come back, and in much worse shape,” she said
The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office said the whale washed ashore in the 4900 block of State Road A1A, south of Spessard Holland Park."
