Hopefully Tonya or some of you can correct any errors from my report  
below.  Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.

JULY 6, 2011 - On CBC Radio this morning I heard a news report from  
Laura Chapin in Charlottetown, PEI, that last week? a PYGMY SPERM  
WHALE was found beached but still alive in a harbour near Shelburne?   
Tonya Wimmer of MARS (Marine Animal Response Society) reported that  
only 5 of these rare whales have been seen in 20 years of MARS  
experience.  The 500-pound whale was pushed off the mud into deeper  
water, but then was refound dead the next day.  Then the specimen was  
collected and sent to a lab (Quebec? PEI?) for a necropsy.
