Shocking clip shows a stranded whale more than 15 meters long washed ashore in Delaware, USA.

Footage captured on May 5, near the Inlet River Bridge in Sussex County, shows the giant mammal lying motionless as people gathered to watch.

A representative from the Marine Education, Research and Rehabilitation Institute (MERR) confirmed the whale was a juvenile fin whale .

According to MERR, fin whales are offshore species, living in deep waters and usually do not stay close to shore unless they are very weak.

MERR officials tried to calm the animal but were unable to get close enough due to high water levels and strong waves. Sadly, the whale did not survive.
