Distressed whale washes up at Santa Cruz beach

A distressed whale washed up in the surf of a Santa Cruz beach Thursday morning. The whale, presumably a young and underweight fin whale, was seen rolling over in the surf at Cowell Beach. Wildlife experts at the scene said there isn t anything they can do while the whale is still alive. After it dies, officials will decide whether to take it away by land, tow it out to sea or let the tide take it away naturally.
