'Beachgoers reported seeing splashing and aggressive shark activity prior to the whale washing ashore,' the City of Huntington Beach said in a statement.
A whale has been found washed up on a California beach, covered in shark bite marks.The whale, thought to possibly be a northern right whale dolphin, was found on Sunday evening on Sunset Beach in Los Angeles's Huntington Beach region.The discovery of the injured whale has led the beach to be closed for fear of the same shark attacking a person.
estimates that there are about 68,000 of these dolphins in the whole North Pacific Ocean, 26,000 of which are found off the California, Oregon, and Washington coasts.These dolphins are predated upon by great white sharks and orcas. The exact species that attacked the stranded whale has not been confirmed, however.Great white sharks have been found to be moving further north along the California coastline due to climate change, with warming oceans expanding the range of juvenile white sharks.
