SEATTLE (AP) — Severe scars on a gray whale found dead at Bremerton indicate a killer whale attack years ago left it too weak to complete this year’s migration from Alaska to Mexico, a biologist said.

Looking for food in Puget Sound, the whale was able to find only woody debris in the sediments, said John Calambokidis of Cascadia Research, who pulled handfuls of sticks and bark out of its stomach during the necropsy.
