They tried resuscitating it for 3 hours thinking it was a drowned farang

 

But only after spending considerable time looking for its wallet.

Clearly one has floated and beached, the other just beached.

My research shows that the  sperm whale is a mammal with a worldwide range and will migrate seasonally for feeding and breeding. Females and young males live together while mature males live solitary lives outside of the mating season.

So very similar to the lads on the annual OS golf trip?
