The carcass of a humpback whale washed ashore on the beach between Crosby Landing Beach and Linnell Landing Beach in Brewster over the weekend.
Stacey Hedman, the communications director for the International Fund for Animal Welfare, said the animal was a juvenile 34-foot female humpback weighing about 18 tons or 36,000 pounds.
After being towed to a better location, the IFAW team will perform a necropsy, or animal autopsy, on the animal, said Hedman in an email.
