In this Oct. 5, 2010 photo, curious onlookers gather on Bean Hollow State Beach near Pescadero, Calif., to view the blue whale carcass that washed ashore over the weekend. The California Academy of Sciences says its researchers plan to take blubber samples, skin samples and conduct a thorough visual inspection for possible wounds. The animal will be allowed to decompose and wash out to sea once the samples are taken. (AP Photo/Santa Cruz Sentinel, Shmuel Thaler) MAGS OUT
