Oh no, anyone been there to see how things are going? I have never seen a whale in real life, but I'm not sure I could cope seeing a sick one. The poor thing, so sad.
"A juvenile humpback whale is stranded inside the Two Rocks harbour, north of Perth.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Environment and Conservation says the four-metre whale is in a bad condition.
The Department's senior marine wildlife officer, Doug Cochrane, has gathered a team of experts to assess its condition and says it may have to be put down.
Matt Cole has been at the harbour this morning, and says the whale looks very sick.
"He's very thin, emaciated, obviously he hasn't had his mother's milk for quite a while and hes very sunburnt so he has a lot of white, peeling skin," he said.
"He also has a few bloody scars on him and he's using the shallowness to hold his nostrils above water."
