Washed up whale... not all bad news

Last week a humpback whale carcass washed up on Newport Beach.

Authorities are warning beachgoers to stay away from New port beach after a dead hump back whale washed  up at the ocean pool on the 1^st of august  Wednesday morning. Authorities said that the juvenile hump back whale had probably been sick and died as no evidence showed other wise. 

It may have died from sickness because it was late in migrating north from the Antarctic

waters into the tropics. The whales spend most of their time in the cold waters of the Arctic they then migrate north along the east Australian coast to calf in the warmer waters of the tropics. 

The whale had been washed into the pool by the rough seas that were present that day. The following mourning the whale was washed back out of the pool and was washed up onto the beach at Newport where the 25 tonne mammal had to be cut up and removed. Geoff Ross ,national Parks and Wildlife Service “I know that a dead whale on a beach can seem like a very sad thing…says but is actually a good sign of a growing population.”
