Whale Seen in Video With Swimmers Dies off Australian Beach | Inside Edition

A sperm whale that became stranded on a sandbank at a popular beach near Perth, Western Australia on the weekend has died.

Officials from the Parks and Wildlife Service of Western Australia confirmed the 15-meter (49-feet) long whale died Tuesday morning after it swam off the sandbank into open water.

“It was moving pretty gingerly and swam only 200 or 300 meters before it really seemed to sort of stop. Its respiration gave us some signs that it really was coming to the end,” said Mark Cugley, Incident Controller from the Parks and Wildlife Service.
