Another gray whale death is adding to concerns along the West Coast. This one, a young female, was found on a Mendocino County beach near Virgin Creek yesterday morning. The Noyo Center for Marine Science says more whales are showing up underweight, and it’s becoming a pattern. Researchers think changes in Arctic feeding areas may be leaving these animals without enough energy for the long migration. If the whale stays accessible, they’ll take a closer look to figure out exactly what went wrong.
