Stranded whale that died from starvation as a result of line wrapped throughout its mouth.

SCIENTISTS DISCOVER POSSIBLE NEW WHALE SUBSPECIES
Whale Stranding Illustrates the Importance of Collecting Data from Stranded Marine Mammals
NOAA Fisheries and scientists from various academic institutions believe they have found a new subspecies of Bryde’s whale in North Carolina. On March 13, 2003, a beach comber found a dead baleen whale on the shore of Carolina Beach near Wilmington, N.C. During studies of tissue samples collected, scientists determined that the animal most likely died from starvation as a result of line entanglement. Scientists also determined that the whale is a member of the baleen whale family and has a unique genetic sequence only seen in one other whale.
