Discovery of a 15-Meter Whale Stranded on the Beach Draws Crowds
Shocking footage shows a 15-meter whale that has washed ashore in Delaware, USA.
The video, captured on May 5 near the Inlet River Bridge in Sussex County, depicts the massive mammal lying motionless as onlookers gather to witness the scene.
A representative from the Marine Education, Research, and Rehabilitation Institute (MERR) confirmed that the whale is an immature fin whale.
According to MERR, fin whales are typically found offshore, inhabiting deep waters and rarely coming near the shore unless they are in distress.
MERR officials attempted to reassure the animal but could not get close enough due to rising water levels and strong waves. Unfortunately, the whale did not survive.
