Another young whale estimated to be one to three years of age was found washed ashore, this time at the northern end of Virginia Beach, US, along the Atlantic Ocean.
The humpback juvenile was presumably the same that had been seen floating near the bay’s mouth a couple days earlier. After being tossed around the waves so much, the body was too decomposed inside to be tested for a cause of death. A ship strike was thought to be highly unlikely though, since little outer injury could be determined.
