I was so dreading this...but here it is now true. How sad.
(June 17) - A dead sperm whale was found floating 77 miles from the Deepwater Horizon spill site in the Gulf of Mexico, and scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are trying to determine whether it was killed by the oil.
The sub-adult whale was found Tuesday by the NOAA ship Pisces in oil-free waters but had been dead from several days to as long as a week and may have floated from contaminated parts of the Gulf, NOAA announced today.
