Scientists pulled it ashore to test the remains and establish how it died. On Sept. 22, after declaring the rare sea giant died in a collision with a ship, they towed the carcass about 10 miles out to sea. <BR /><BR />But on Sunday, the dead whale washed onto Broad Beach in Malibu. Lifeguards quickly towed the stinking remains back into the ocean, but were concerned the carcass could wash ashore again. <BR /><BR />"We just wish the darned thing would sink," wildlife biologist Joe Cordaro said. <BR /><BR />Oils from the whale spread about a mile up and down the coast, Los Angeles County Fire Department Capt. Dan Atkins said. The whale was one of at least three to have died off the coast of Southern California in recent weeks. <BR /><BR />Blue whales are listed as a federally endangered species. <BR /><BR /></DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.aol.com/story/ar/_a/putrid-whale-carcass-washes-back-ashore/20071002165309990001"></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/639BC029-BF0D-4643-B8EB-40EE7365D4BE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
