Young, Dead Gray Whale Washes Ashore In Malibu

The whale — about a year old — came ashore near the county line, bringing with it crowds of people, curious to see the majestic creature up close.

But with the curiosity also came sadness for some — why did the whale die? How did it end up washed up on the beach?

“I was wondering if it died naturally or if it died from a boat because it looked like he had a lot of cuts on it and that could have been from an engine or something,” said Davenport Milgalter.

Authorities say gray whales are migrating by our coast from Mexico to Alaska right now with hundreds of whales just off shore. They say mom and baby whales will soon start their migration north so boaters need to be careful and give them space. The same goes for the whale now in its final resting place on the beach.

Experts say since they’re not sure how the whale died, it’s best to keep your distance. They’re planning a necropsy for Monday to hopefully get some answers.

Authorities have no plans to move the whale, instead they’re going to let nature dispose of the body.

Apparently after Barbara Streisand stepped in with her Michael Jackson comments she decided to go for a swim.

"Barbra Streisand says she has never been sexually harassed because of her looks"

I don't remember her ever being real heavy...either way, I would think not. Not exactly a looker.

Yknow Ive always wondered, why always Holly, Rhodes, Vaughan? Why couldn’t Minelli, Streisand, and Jackson get a plane together?

Once you know what all that greasy, splattery matter is, you need a hot bath.

Can't take her to a romantic restaurant, she'd turn her head and knock the candle over.

It wasn’t California: It was an Oregon beach. Florence, in fact.

It died from post birth abortion. The mother is drinking champagne near a sunken cargo container as I write this. A Dem from NY no doubt.

SOUVENIR in which after a storm, a 50 foot body of a man washes ashore.

>>“I was wondering if it died naturally or if it died from a boat because it looked like he had a lot of cuts on it and that could have been from an engine or something,” said Davenport Milgalter.

Maybe it was aborted by its mother who wanted to remain a party animal.
