Good Samaritans acted speedily and rescued a 12-foot pygmy sperm whale that washed ashore at the Zuma Beach at Malibu on Jan. 18. The mammal, however, was later euthanized as it couldn’t be treated in rehab.
The whale was spotted at the shoreline at 7:45 a.m., according to a quote obtained by 10 News from the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Attempts by beachgoers to push it back into the sea were unsuccessful.
