NEW YORK: The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has to make a hard decision and that is to euthanize a beached mother whale and its calf. The whales were beached on Jacksonville’s Neptune Beach.
The FWC’s Marine Mammal Response team were immediately on site after receiving reports that an adult sperm whales was injured on the beach. Just a few meters away was its calf. According to the response team, the calf was just few hour’s old and could have been born earlier that morning.
“What may have happened was the mother was giving birth this morning near shore and a shark was in the area,” said Cheyanne Rubin of the FWC. “Witnesses did report to us seeing a commotion where the shark may have been interacting with the adult female.”
“She came straight up out of the water and then just… a ton of commotion…” said Johnson. “The blood and water was just massive,” Mark Johnson, one of the witnesses shared.
