28 Foot Whale Found Dead In London River
A massive 28 foot juvenile humpback whale has been found dead in a river town off of London in what appears to be a starvation case.
Medical examiners and local scientists are studying the two year old junior whale to further understand what happened to the lovely sea creature and why.
Deaville said the whale may have been confused by the topography of the Thames and ambient noise, or because it was sick or because climate change caused shift of the routes – vast migrations.
London is calling this a sad event but one that should yield bountiful information and better understanding of UK water-based animals to preserve their future conservation.
Let’s hope they learn a lot and prevent this in the future.
