Default Humpback Whale Found Washed Up in Amazon Jungle

Quote:
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world...id=mailsignout

Renata Emin, a marine specialist, told Brazilian news site Journal O Liberal: “We're still not sure how it landed here, but we're guessing that the creature was floating close to the shore and the tide, which has been pretty considerable over the past few days, picked it up and threw it inland, into the mangrove."
Probably the most plausible explanation.

That's a whale of a story.



Sorry...I'll let myself out.

"The Maritime Herald suggested the whale may have died after ingesting plastics from the ocean before being swept along by the waves into the jungle’s shore."

Ya who cares about the truth, unfortunately until the autopsy is completed, if there is one, nobody will really know what that is. Until then the unlikely death of a baleen whale from ingesting plastics, or the likelihood by a shark, or plain old statistics on infant mortality rate of humpback whale calves is just as plausible as ALIENS.




Suggestions/opinions are like buttholes, everybody has one. Well, everyone except Kim Jong Un.
