MADRID (AP) — A marine scientist says a 15 meter (50 feet) sperm whale has died after beaching on the sands of a northern seaside resort town.

Enrique Franco, vice president of the society for the study and conservation of marine fauna in the northern Bay of Biscay, says that the specimen, despite its size, was still a juvenile.
Franco, says the carcass would be towed out to sea and then taken into the nearby port of Orio where it was to be buried in sand for around four years. He says that after that period the skeleton would be retrieved for scientific and teaching purposes.
Franco says the whale was discovered on the beach early Friday and was still alive when it became stranded on the sand.
