A Gray Whale, who’s body was found in the San Francisco Bay, is believed to have died from the blunt force trauma of being hit by a ship. Scientists found significant bruising and hemorrhaging to the 44-foot adult female gray whale’s blubber and muscle tissue as well as several skull fractures. It’s the third gray whale found dead in the San Francisco Bay since March, when a Gray Whale that died of malnutrition was found on Angel Island. Another died last month after an orca attacked it and it then got entangled in fishers’ nets.
