Humpback calf found floating off Maine coast

BAR HARBOR, Maine (AP) — Marine biologists intend to examine the carcass of a humpback whale calf that was found floating off Mount Desert Island.

Rosemary Seton, a researcher with Allied Whale, says the 18-foot calf is being kept at College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor pending an examination. Seton tells the Bangor Daily News (http://bit.ly/LKUl6K ) that the whale was likely born this past winter in the Caribbean Sea.
