She hasn't been seen since Dec. 11.
The whale — known as Moon — was likely injured after a ship strike off the coast of northern B.C.“Not only was she likely in considerable pain, but she had somehow migrated thousands of miles across the North Pacific to her Hawaiian breeding grounds without being able to propel herself with her tail,” said Janie Wray of the North Coast Cetacean Society.
Back in December, a humpback researcher with the Marine Education and Research Society suspected Moon would die. During an interview with Glacier Media on Jan. 30, Wray said she suspected Moon had died as she had not been seen recently.
