SEKIU — A dead humpback whale was discovered floating off shore near Sekiu, Washington, Thursday morning.
KOMO-TV reports that officials with NOAA Fisheries said whale is about 25 to 28-feet long and appeared to be relatively healthy.
They believe the death was recent and said whale had a broken jaw.
A marine biologist from the Makah Tribe is collecting samples from the whale to determine the cause of death.
