Wagner shows a 70-foot female blue whale, that officials believe was struck by a ship, washed ashore on the Northern California coast Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2009, near Fort Bragg, Calif. Officials with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration say the whale was spotted on the shores near Fort Bragg in Mendocino County Monday night, hours after an ocean survey vessel reported hitting a whale a few miles away. The dead animal has a gash on its back estimated to be more than 8 feet long.
