A class of young school children from Alaska found a dead beluga whale on the beach during a weekly field trip. The Winterberry Elementary School second graders came across the whale along the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail.   According to their teacher, Meg Eggleston, the children saw the whale moving its tail and were convinced the whale will be fine.   But the whale, dead for hours, had already begun to decompose. 

According to press reports, nearly 50 pilot whales were found stranded on an Argentine beach over the weekend.  Two workers discovered the whales in the province of Chubut in the coastal region of Bustamante Bay on Sunday.  All of the whales have died.
