Coastguard teams were called to the Ayrshire beach at around 10am on Monday, December 16, after the whale was discovered by dog walkers.
"We are liaising with the local council who are planning to relocate the carcass and we will do an examination of the animal there. "This will include, for example, what it has been feeding on, and so will help us begin to understand how the animal, and others from its population, lived."
