An endangered whale has been discovered dead on the bow of a container ship docked in New Jersey, prompting authorities to investigate its cause of death and arrange for carcass removal.
The US Coast Guard reported the whale on Sunday at the Gloucester Marine Terminal, a port located at the base of the Walt Whitman Bridge, which links New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The Marine Mammal Stranding Center, a local animal rescue service, confirmed the discovery via social media.
