From Times Wire Reports
Ocean swimmers are being warned of the possible presence of sharks after a gray whale carcass was spotted tangled in a kelp bed just beyond the surf line.
The young whale is believed to have been killed by killer whales, which feed on the migrating mammals off the Monterey coast in April and May, wildlife officials said.
Capitola lifeguards are keeping an eye out for great white sharks that may come into the area to feed on the carcass.
