NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — A juvenile humpback whale was found dead in North Myrtle Beach last week, the Lowcountry Marine Mammal Network said.
The network and the UNCW Marine Mammal Network Stranding Program will work together on the 29-foot male humpback. Tests and samples will take months to finalize, but officials suspect the male met 'some trauma' prior to dying.
