Dwarf sperm whale found beached in St. Johns County, officials investigating

ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. — State biologists are working with the Georgia Aquarium to figure out why a dwarf sperm whale beached itself.

The St. Johns County Sheriff's Office said the beached whale was found about a mile south of the Duval County line.

The whale was about 6 1/2 feet long and weighed 800 pounds.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said another whale was found beached in the same area in November.
