VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) – Officials say a whale washed up at Virginia Beach may have been struck by a ship and killed.
According to Susan Barko with the Virginia Aquarium Stranding Response Program, the humpback whale washed up April 5 at False Cape State Park.
Although a necropsy was completed, and the mammal was found to have skull fractures and broken bones, its cause of death will remain unknown until toxicology results come back.
Barko said the fractures are likely from blunt force trauma consistent with a ship strike. She said more whales are struck in the Cape Hatteras, N.C. to Cape Henry area than anywhere else along the East Coast.
Barko recommends you contact the Virginia Aquarium Stranding Response Program at 757-385-7575 if you see an injured or dead whale.
