Dead Minke Whale - photos (1 Viewer)

Hi All;

On 6 October 2009 we discovered a dead female Minke Whale washed up on Martinique Beach, Nova Scotia, Canada. The whale's tongue was bloated and distended from decomposition gases, and marks on the body are suggestive of the whale having become entangled in a fishing net.

The photos are here:

Any comments, clarifications, corrections, or requests for additional (unposted) photographs are welcome.

Cheers,
