A beached whale was spotted Wednesday at Hanna Park. This photo has been blurred to obscure the whale's wounds.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said a whale washed up Wednesday morning on the beach at Hanna Park in Jacksonville.

The whale, an adult 7-foot dwarf sperm whale, was found near Entrance 9.

The whale was still alive when FWC transported it from the beach, but it did not survive.
