The annual Whale Festivals could get even more attention than usual this year because, on October 2009, a dead female blue whale washed ashore on a rocky part of the coast south of Fort Bragg. The whale, which had been injured by a boat’s propeller, was over 70 feet long. A research team from Humboldt State University’s Museum in Arcata came to collect data from this mammal. The blue whale is the world’s largest living animal. Along with the humpback whale and the gray whale, the blue whale is a baleen whale, which feeds on tiny crustaceans that it strains through baleen plates in its mouth.
