Some will return to tropical waters to mate once they have reached their 20s or older, and females only reproduce every few years.

The 40-foot male sperm whale was found “just south of the Peter Iredale in Fort Stevens State Park,” Seaside Aquarium in Oregon said.

“They feed on deep water species, such as squid, sharks, skates, and fish.” Though the species’ “population is recovering,” sperm whales remain endangered, according to the aquarium. “They have been known to live up to 60 years, with males maturing around the age of 50 at a length of approximately 52 feet,” the aquarium said.

A 40-foot sperm whale that washed up dead on Oregon's northwestern coast was killed after being struck by a ship, federal biologists have determined.

Sperm whales, the largest toothed whale, were nearly decimated by the whaling industry in the 19th and 20th centuries. Staff said it was the first such event in the 25 years they have been watching whales. They cut the whale open, examined its insides and took samples in order to learn about its health and condition.

DFO responded to Broughton Archipelago Marine Provincial Park after being alerted to a whale in distress. They were later able to set the animal free.

DFO is optimistic the whale will recover. “You could tell it had a burst of energy,” he says. You could tell it was in severe distress,” he tells Glacier Media.

Officials believe the population is slowly increasing, but its unknown how many are alive worldwide.

"The Peter Iredale beach is one of the most visited on the coast with heavy traffic from both pedestrians and vehicles," Knowlton said. "Eventually, the carcass will be buried if needed." Michael Milstein, a spokesman for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said the whale was an adult male, about 20 years old, and generally healthy.

'The Whale' writer Samuel D. Hunter discusses working with Brendan Fraser and Darren Aronofsky on the buzzy drama.

But a few minutes in, I was completely relieved because Brendan was so effortless and he connected with that joy and love and all the dimensions of the character. But it was either the second or third meeting where Darren was like, ‘I think we should keep it in the apartment and maybe make it more of a straight adaptation.’ I was really excited about that. I was treated with more respect on an interpersonal level and that was a hard thing to realize. I had parents who loved me and a support system, and I was able to deal with some of my demons and go to therapy and become a healthier person. In the beginning we thought about it and tried to consider if there were storylines to explore in this. I wanted to do something different and something that felt truer to my emotional experience.

Taking the screen this week at Tryon Theatre is “The Whale,” a film that captures our morbid gaze and our earnest emotion in equal measure.

The humanity of the film rests on his portrayal of Charlie. “The Whale,” is directed by the renowned Darren Aronofsky, whose films have always effectively provoked emotion, from joy and sadness, to hope and fear. “The Whale,” tells the story of a deeply isolated English professor named Charlie, played by the magnificent Brendan Fraser.
