As of August, 12th, 2012, it has been 52 days since the gray whale entered the Klamath River and she is beginning to deteriorate, she is showing signs of wear and her behavior for wild animals isn't normal. The whale is swimming around the U.S. Highway 1001 bridge in Klamath. Her calf was with her but has gone back to the ocean. There have been efforts to get her to go back to the ocean, all failed. She is being monitored by biologists.
As of August 17th, the whale died. It beached itself a few days prior and now has died. Very sad. Zoologist had spent a lot of time with it, trying to help, but unfortunately nature took it's course.
