"Only the whale knows and dead whales tell no tales," said Dr. Ray Gil more, of the San Diego Museum of Natural History at La Jolla, Calif. The only larger beaching of sperm whales was in New Zealand in 1974 where 72 whales died, said biology professor Peter Bryant of the University of California-Irvine. Gilmore said it "could very possibly be true" that the beaching at Mulege, Baja California, about 350 miles south of the U.S. border, was the largest in the hemisphere.

"I have records of all the strandings for several hundred years," he said in an interview Wednesday. "Sperm whales have been stranding since the 1700s and there is literature recording it.
