Appeared to be dead? What, it could have been napping?

A whale that appeared to be dead washed ashore on Atlantic Beach, Long Island Wednesday.

Kind of reminds me of the whale I found ashore on the beach in Shemya. It appeared to be dead. In fact the foxes and ravens had cleaned most of the meat off and it was mostly skeleton.
