"Tragic Tears: Beached Humpback Whale's Heartbreaking Battle Ends"

A beached humpback whale on Caipe Beach in Sao Francisco do Conde, Brazil, appeared to weep as it drew its final breaths after being stranded. Despite efforts to save it, the whale died, as it can only survive for a few hours out of the water. The animal had previously washed up on Mare Island and was returned to the sea twice before becoming stranded again. Experts believe the whale had a dislocated or fractured fin, making its survival impossible. While scientists reject the claim that the whale was crying, witnesses have reported the emotional distress exhibited by stranded whales.
