Whale Herman Dead At Marine Studios Deep Freeze Slab
Marine Studios in Marineland Florida reports Herman the whale died last night in a circular oceanarium. He was the only living whale in captivity after 44 pilot whales stranded between here and St Augustine last October. Herman weighed about 430 pounds at death and was eight feet long. He shared a tank with porpoises and faced aggression from bulls as spring mating season approached. His death raises questions about captivity and social dynamics among marine mammals.
