snoop1130 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Rotting whale carcass could still reveal cluesKritsada Mueanhawong PHUKET: -- Marine biologists are hoping that the rotting carcass of a five-tonne whale, found washed up yesterday on Lampi Beach, Phang Nga, will reveal clues about how it died.Phuket Marine Biological Center (PMBC) staff had been looking for the dead cetacean, ever since it was spotted floating off Koh Bon in the Similan National Park by a tourist on April 10 (story here).“It is a Bryde’s whale, about 13.45 meters long. It has probably been dead for about two weeks, so the body is already in an advanced state of decomposition, with some of the bones exposed,” said Rachawadee Chantra from the PMBC.Full Story: http://www.phuketgazette.net/phuket-news/Rotting-whale-carcass-still-reveal-clues/63701?desktopversion#ad-image-0 -- Phuket Gazette 2016-04-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brer Fox Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Dead whales have also been found in Vietnam lately. Vietnamese fishermen give them a ritual burial. As to be expected global warming and El Nino get the blame. Nothing to do with pollution and the garbage floating in the sea. http://www.thanhniennews.com/society/third-whale-found-dead-within-a-month-in-central-vietnam-61155.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kabula Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I would be interested in a followup report with the results of the lab tests and examination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyman Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Bryde’s whales are very common in my home province :Petchaburi, there's generally about 15-20 of them a little north of Petchaburi town. Just Google Whale Watching at Bang Taboon, Petchaburi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kabula Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Why? Because I eat seafood!! Toxins, red tides, radiation leakage in the water kill everything that comes in contact with it over time especially migratory sea life. Whales, Tuna, and Salmon travel thousands of miles. Mud crabs can suffer as well! Most care what they consume or why sea life is dying with sea life deaths accelerating worldwide confirmed by friends living along the U.S., Canadian and South American coasts. Aren't you interested what the clues could reveal? Perhaps another death from a domestic dispute with the opposite sex! Hot weather or red tide???? Inquisitive minds want to know.

And according to my U.S.Navy daughter, the amount of non_bio-degradable litter and trash scattered across the Pacific, is a shameful astonishment.

Here's a factual tidbit for your (ahem) "inquisitive mind" to ponder over. Our's, is absolutely the last civilization (civilisation) of life, on this planet. Why? Simply because there is an (historically) obvious fatal flaw, in the design of the human species. It's a collective global phenomenon, commonly referred to as being "the continued use of the internal combustion engineering technology", and the sheer stupidity, of the "ingenius" power elite! The count-down (four years) begins, after the honey-bees disappear. Cheeri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
