CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Inside a truck, a veterinarian, left, and Sea World representatives cool the skin of a Melon-Headed Whale found stranded south of Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center near Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The whale will be taken to Sea World for evaluation. After assessment by veterinarians at Sea World, the whale will be transported to a whale rescue center in the Panhandle for rehabilitation and release. The Melon-Headed Whale lives well off-shore in all the world's tropical and sub-tropical oceans. At the northern fringes of its range, it may also be found in the warm currents of temperate waters, such as Florida. It is closely related to the Pygmy Killer Whale and the Pilot Whales. Its primary diet is squid. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
