The marine mammal was spotted Thursday morning stuck in the Succotash Marsh.
It is believed to be a fin whale that appears to be around 30 feet long.
It could be seen breathing and does not appear to have any injuries.

However, the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management says it isn't doing well.
Local rescuers are monitoring its condition closely, hoping the whale will be able to free itself at high tide.
If not, they are going to look at other options to get the whale back in the deep water.
