Dead, 'bloated' baby whale found washed up on Newport Beach

Beachgoers spotted a gnarly, rotting, dead 10-ton whale laying on Newport Beach Wednesday. A video taken at the picturesque Orange County beach shows waves slapping the dark-colored 30-foot marine mammal. The videographer, Tim Burnham, said he heard the whale washed up outside his house and decided to check it out. “It was super bloated and looked like it hadn’t been deceased for that long,” he told The Post. “I actually brought my drone out to see if there were any sharks circling but it was too far up on the beach.”
