A whale is stranded on the sand in Flagler Beach, not far from the Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area.
A whale that became stranded on a Florida beach Friday afternoon has died. The whale, which measured approximately 15 feet in length and weighed an estimated 3,000 pounds, had beached itself in Flagler Beach multiple times as rescuers attempted to pull it back into the water. Several onlookers covered the whale in wet towels while team members from the Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute , a non-profit research organization, assessed the health of the mammal.
The whale died early Friday evening and was removed from the beach shortly after 8:30 p.m. It was to be transported to SeaWorld Orlando, where researchers will perform a necropsy to determine the cause of death. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration , the Cuvier's beaked whale, sometimes called "goose-beaked whales," are found in most oceans and seas worldwide and have the most extensive range of all beaked whale species.
