Mysterious giant whale corpse found in the Brazilian jungle

Biologists are investigating why the whale died when its body was found in a tropical jungle in Brazil.

11m long, weighing 10 tons was found on February 22 in a forest on the island of Marajó, Pará state.

Biologists from the NGO NGO Bicho D'água are on their way to the island of Marajó to find out the cause, as well as how the animal's body can drift up to 15m from the coast. .

The original assumption was that the animal died in the sea after the high tide brought its body to the depths of the shore.

"There are no injuries to the whale if seen with the naked eye. So we need to identify the cause of the whale's death , " said Dirlene Silva, a local official.

The whale is thought to be about a year old.(Photo: Focus on News).

The Maritime Herald believes that the animal may have died from swallowing the tar. According to biologists from Bicho D'água, the fact that a humpback whale appears on the north coast of Brazil is very unusual because they often hang around this area from August to November every year. .

"We believe that the 12-month-old whale is on its way to Antarctica with its mother and many other whales who are lost or have separated themselves , " said Renata Emin, a member of Bicho D ' Água said.
