Wow that is so sad! I actually remember hearing about that right before I moved to Florida. I have a suggestion on what might have killed that whale, it might have been attacked by a great white. If it was a baby it may have wondered from its family and got lost. Chances are something that small would have come across a fatal attraction with a great white.

This story made me wonder what made the whale die. I thought that the story was sad because if you tell me an animal died I would feel like I did something wrong. The article said the whale was a Dwarf sperm whale and I didn't think it was small if it's seven feet long. The whale washed up on Sconset Beach and in the picture I saw a shark bite. I think it's important for researchers to find out what killed the whale so the people of Nantucket will know what's in the water.

That is sad because whale can be pretty cool. Only the ones that won't bite me. I can imagine myself being there. I would save the whale.

I wonder what took a bite out of the poor whale. I've been to Nantucket Marine Museum, and the was a poster of local whale species. Sperm whale wasn't on,e so I don't know why it's this far south anyway.
