If history is our guide, we need a local news crew and an irresponsible amount of explosives, only way to remove a whale from a PNW beach…

Is this a current picture? I’d totally take a trip there to see a dead whale

Likely filled with plastics, unfortunately.

It is. Park at the Ruby Beach parking area off of Hwy 101. Head north once you walk down to the ocean. 47.71800, -124.41925. It’s less than a mile from the parking area. It’s fresh: few signs of decay as of Sunday and the smell wasn’t that bad.

I saw a dead humpback whale calf on Ruby Beach almost exactly 4 years ago... my group also commented that it wasn't smelly at all, until we were slightly downwind of it. Then it was... quite smelly.

Is that a whale butthole?

I saw video of Orcas attacking a humpback whale last week. Maybe they won.

I saw a dead beached whale in SoCal probably almost 10 years ago now. We didn’t stay long because of the smell. Omg that was horrendous. And there were people in the water with the whale so they could touch it I guess. I imagine the smell seeped into their clothes too. (It was a beached whale but it was high tide so it was about 5’ from where the water stopped. )

I think I see the German Word ‘San Diego’ in this picture.

Ran into her at Ruby Beach on Sunday, she was in fact quite stinky. And had been dissected. It was very very cool/gross

So, my dad thought this was just the greatest, funniest thing in the world and we still have his original VHS recording of the exploding whale news segment somewhere. It’s whispered about as a family anecdote to this day.
