Per WBAL's website...I find it ironic that someone as obese as a whale is forced to work on whales. (Hey Scott...read your stories before you post them!!!)
Whale Washes Ashore
Thursday, April 02, 2009WBAL Radio as reported by Scott Wykoff
For the first time in 2 decades, the carcass of a humpback whale has washed ashore on Assateague Island.
It was a female humpback whale.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reports that another large humpback whale is stranded in another portion of the park.
A team of scientists from the Virginia Aquarium took samples and performed a necropsy on the dead whale that washed ashore on Assateague Island.
A technician with the aquarium in Virginia Beach likely weighed around 40 tons and was larger than a school bus.
For the last several weeks, there had been reports of a dead whale floating in the Atlantic off of Maryland.
