“#Scientists study cause of endangered whale calf’s death<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n The National Park Service says scientists are trying to discover the cause of death of a whale calf belonging to “one of the rarest marine mammals” on earth after it was found stranded on a beach on North Carolina’s Outer Banks.<\/p>\n

Biologists performed a necropsy on the North Atlantic right whale calf and took DNA samples Saturday. The National Park Service at Cape Lookout National Seashore posted news<\/a> of the whale’s death on its Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Right whales are critically endangered. The park service says only about 360 of the animals are still alive and about five or six calves are born each year.<\/p>\n\n
