A gray whale is spotted on the water in the Tokyo Bay as it blows off Sodegaura, near Tokyo, on Sunday May 8, 2005. A gray whale was found dead in a fixed net Wednesday May 11, 2005 in the Tokyo Bay, apparently the same creature seen swimming in the area for weeks that surprised holidaymakers who got a rare view of the creatures as it spouted water, officials said. A fisherman found the whale captured in a fixed net Wednesday morning and already dead, a fishery cooperative official said. (AP Photo/Kyodo News, Kazuhiko Yamashita) ** JAPAN OUT MANDATORY CREDIT **
