A young sperm whale has died after it was stranded on a North Carolina beach this week.
The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk, Va., reports the 15-foot whale was seen struggling in the ocean before it was stranded south of Avon Pier on Hatteras Island. The animal died Monday afternoon.
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission specialist Karen Clark says the whale appeared thinner than normal. The animals are classified as endangered and commonly are seen swimming off the Outer Banks.
The whale was buried on the beach Tuesday.
