Dear Marmamers,
a stranding of a humpback whale took place in Libya last week. the
carcass was discovered in Sirt (the same area which had seen a stranded
finwhale in 2009) accidentally last Wednesday by one of the locals and
reported the incidence to the coastguards. a team from EGA (the
Environmental General Authority) arrived in the area to collect samples
and preform a necropsy. however, the animal was heavily decomposed and
only samples of skin, blubber and vertebrae were collected.
the only pictures that can be found where in a facebook page which
published an article about the even...link :
