Sperm whale dies after washing up on New York beach in devastating footage
A sperm whale washed up dead on a beach in Queens, New York, this week - despite desperate efforts from bystanders to save it.
The mammal was spotted struggling in shallow water close to Rockaway Beach on Tuesday morning (13 December), when beach-goers attempted to help it back into the deeper water.
However, the stricken whale - measuring around 32ft long - died later that day.
Footage shows the deceased whale on the beach, surrounded by caution tape.
It was believed to be a female sperm whale, between the age of three and five.
