(PICS) Massive Humpback Whale Washes Ashore on New Jersey Beach!
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.
Here are the details from PhillyVoice:
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!
Zach Piller and his dad were fishing off the Jersey Shore near Belmar when a humpback whale decided to pay them a visit that felt a little too close for comfort. https://t.co/W9ui1FJMfA pic.twitter.com/zHinpJvP74
