This is always so fasciniating to me since it's rare whales are spotted around the Jersey Shore. However it seems to be coming more common.
20-ton humpback whale was found washed ashore on a South Jersey beach Saturday morning. Staff from the Marine Mammal Stranding Center were on location in Strathmere, Cape May County, taking measurements and preparing to perform a necropsy in attempts to determine the whale's cause of death, The Press of Atlantic City reported. The whale was dead when it came ashore.
"It was crazy," Sea Isle resident Tom D'Intino told PhillyVoice. "I've never seen anything like that."
Don't forget this amazing video of a local father son duo who almost had a whale as an extra passenger!
