Whale's appearance raises doubts 1g1sm
The Municipal Health, Sanitation and Environment Department (Semma) reported that the whale was found dead and measures 11 meters long by 6 meters wide. Humpback is one of the largest species that exist. According to the Secretariat, the appearance in the region is still a mystery.
for the biologist Renata Emin, president of the institute, the most likely hypothesis is that the animal's carcass was washed away by the tide into the mangrove forest. She also believes that it is a calf whale that has just been left by the mother and may have been lost. “The question is what is a humpback doing in the month of February on the northern coast of Brazil? It's unusual”, declared to the portal G1.
The humpbacks live in Bahia de august to november for breeding and then head to Antarctica to feed. The last recorded case of stranding in Pará was 3 years ago.
The institute's team is also identifying marks on the whale's body, if it was caught in a net, if it hit a vessel, among other information. Some analyzes will be sent to the laboratory of the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), in Castanhal.
The animal's skeleton will be sent to the mammal collection of the Goeldi Museum, in Belém, for future studies.
