PLYMOUTH (WBZ BOSTON) ― A dead whale has washed up on a Plymouth beach and now researchers are preparing to take it away.
The young humpback whale is about 25 feet long. Tony LaCasse of the New England Aquarium told WBZ it had been dead for awhile and had been floating in Cape Cod Bay last week.
It washed ashore on Manomet Beach Tuesday morning. There is no indication it had been tangled or struck by a boat. It's not clear yet what killed it.
Researchers will strip off the whale's tissue and deliver the skeleton to a state biologist. LaCasse said there is a waiting list from places around the world for whale skeletons.
