A mysterious, deep-diving whale has died after a"highly unusual" stranding in Gloucester, Massachusetts — and it may have been infected with bird flu, scientists say.
Experts identified the 13.8-foot-long animal as a juvenile female Sowerby's beaked whale — one of the"deepest diving animals in the ocean," Yurasits said. The results indicated that the beaked whale had a viral infection that caused its brain to become inflamed and swollen."The degree of inflammation explains the death of this animal, as well as why it might have been disoriented and strayed into shallow waters," said Inga Sidor, a clinical associate professor of molecular, cellular and biomedical sciences at the University of New Hampshire and lead pathologist on the necropsy.
