Le foto della balena ritrovata su una spiaggia del Canada

Sul suo corpo c'erano profondi tagli forse causati da una rete da pesca

People gather around a beached humpback whale that died during low tide in White Rock, British Columbia, on Tuesday, June 12, 2012. Department of Fisheries and Oceans marine mammal co-ordinator Paul Cottrell said the severely emaciated young whale was first spotted as water receded from the sandy, tidal flats early Tuesday morning. Cottrell said the eight- to 10-meter long juvenile died just hours after beaching itself. (AP Photo/The Canadian Press, Darryl Dyck )

Questa mattina è stato ritrovato un giovane esemplare di megattera (balena) sulla spiaggia di White Rock a sud di Vancouver, in Canada. Sul suo corpo c’erano profondi tagli forse causati da una rete da pesca. Per cercare di prestare soccorso si sono radunate moltissime persone ma al momento del ritrovamento la balena era già morta. Era lunga 10 metri ed è morta sulla spiaggia a causa della bassa marea.
