Scientists say a blue whale found washed ashore a San Mateo County beach over the weekend, died after colliding into a large industrial ship. A spokesperson with the California Academy of Sciences say hemorrhaging was found on the belly of the 75-ton, 80-foot long whale, and at least 2 fractured vertebrae. The pregnant decomposed whale and it’s 8-month old calf, which was believed to have been expelled from it’s mother post-mortem, were found Saturday 35-miles north of Santa Cruz on Bean Hollow State Beach.
