A massive carcass of a gray whale washed up on Tuesday at a popular California surfing spot, luring dozens of gawkers while authorities decided whether to tow it out to sea or cut it into pieces and load it onto trucks.
The curious onlookers positioned themselves upwind to avoid the overpowering stench of the decomposing carcass that towered over them as they took selfies and knelt to examine the animal.
The adult gray whale was about 40 feet long and weighed up to 60,000 pounds.
