EASTHAM, Mass. (WHDH) — A massive humpback whale washed up Thursday night on a Cape Cod Beach.
The International Fund for Animal Welfare said the 33-foot whale was found around 6 p.m. on the shore in Eastham.
Boaters about three miles off Cape Cod spotted the whale Thursday morning floating in the water.
Officials say a research team has been sent to the beach to conduct a necropsy Friday on the adult, female whale.
It’s not clear which specific humpback the whale is.
