A popular humpback whale named Fran, has died and washed up a shore in Half Moon Bay last weekend. Fran was well known among local whale watchers in the area. Residents described Fran as a vibrant loving whale that loved to breach the waters and put on a show for her viewers. She was photo graphed over 300 times making her one of the most photographed whales ever. RIP Fran. Peep story below via NBC Bay Area.
