Members of an environmental task force team inspect the mouth of a dead whale on a beach in Jembrana, in Indonesia's resort island of Bali. AFPPIX: A 17-metre-long sperm whale died after washing up on a beach in Bali, a conservation official said Sunday, making it the third whale that beached itself on the Indonesian island in just a little over a week.
“We are currently trying to pull the carcass to the shore to make it easier for the necropsy test and we will bury it after the test is concluded,“ Permana Yudiarso, a local marine and fisheries official, told AFP Sunday. On Wednesday, an 18-metre-long male sperm whale was stranded in Klungkung district, on Bali’s eastern coast.
Yudiarso told AFP that their initial suspicion is that the sperm whale found Saturday also died of sickness, “just like the whale found stranded a few days ago”.Yudiarso said it would take at least three weeks for the necropsy test to be concluded but forensic experts found some bleeding in the whale’s lungs and its colon was filled with fluids.
