PHUKET: Marine experts have confirmed that the carcass of unidentified marine animal found washed up on Naithon Beach yesterday (June16) was that of a sperm whale.

“Although the head and much of the body had decomposed, there was enough of the remains to confirm that it was a sperm whale, about 10 metres long,” Dr Kongkiat Kittiwatthanawong, Chief of the Marine Endangered Species Unit at the Phuket Marine Biology Centre (PMBC) told The Phuket News today (June 17).

“We believe the whale died at least two weeks before its remains washed ashore. We will keep samples of the parts that were recovered for further examination, in the hope that we may confirm the cause of death, age and sex of the whale,” he said.

Sperm on the beach in Phuket, there's a first.

Sorry, in a silly mood this morning.

"We will keep samples of the parts that were recovered for further examination, in the hope that we may confirm the cause of death" - sounds like the death of a whale gets more investigation than the death of a person.

Why not just say the whale committed suicide?
