Humpback Whale washes up on shore
By Erica Rush, KCBY NewsBANDON, Ore. -One whale's tale will only be told in research samples and cells, after students from the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology discover a dead Humpback Whale, washed up on a Bandon beach. At about two miles south on Whiskey Run Beach, lies the corpse of a 35-foot female Humpback Whale. After being washed ashore on Wednesday, Sept. 3, it lies belly-up, with most of the skin peed off. Marine Biologists say they will let it decompose on the isolated beach but signs near the whale remind on-lookers to not touch the massive species, warning, it is a Federal Offense to take marine mammal bones.
