By Chuck Chiang Another dead whale has washed ashore on a British Columbia beach, the third over two weeks, but a marine wildlife expert at the scene said Friday that there’s likely no connections between the latest case to the other deaths. The Namgis First Nation said in a statement that a resident reported finding the whale Wednesday on a beach near Port McNeill, B.C., on the northwest side of Vancouver Island. Experts who have examined the animal have confirmed it’s a Bryde’s whale — a species rarely seen in waters north of the same latitude as Los Angeles, the statement said. Jackie Hildering with the Marine Education and Research Society is among the researchers on-site, and said this is the only known sighting of a Bryde’s whale in B.C.
