A few weeks ago a California Grey Whale died in the Pacific Ocean and washed up on the rocky shore near our home.  We hiked out to see it and WOW!  While we were checking it out three people from the Marine Mammal Center arrived.  They did a necropsy, which is like an autopsy on an animal.  It was fascinating!  They talked to us throughout showing the different parts.  They were not sure what killed this beautiful whale, but their best guess was a boat strike.  I will write more another day about what has happened since, including seeing a great white shark that was feeding on some floating whale blubber.  Thanks for reading 😊.
