Sperm whale beached off Venice, Florida, officials say

A stranded whale, estimated to be about 50 feet long, was found off the coast of Venice, about 75 miles south of Tampa.
Officials, including the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office and Mote Marine Laboratory staff, deemed the water conditions too dangerous to approach the whale.
Authorities plan to reassess the situation at low tide, but there are diminishing hopes of aiding the whale, likely resulting in a recovery effort.
