A young female North Atlantic right whale was towed to shore in southeastern Georgia after it was found dead off the coast of Tybee Island.
Georgia Department of Natural Resources spokesman Tyler Jones said the whale's body was heavily scavenged by sharks, but scientists were hoping a necropsy would be able to determine how it died.
"It’s going to be a challenge to determine the cause of death because it’s been so heavily predated and decayed," Jones said.
