| Dead Grevais' beaked whale On May 4th, 2011 a dead Grevais beaked whale was found at the shores of Larga Beach in Maunabo, Puerto Rico. This species of whale had never come to the beaches of the island. According to the Secretary of the Department of Natural Resources , Daniel Galán Kercadó, the whale was a juvenile female and showed signs of inadequate feeding. When a necropsy was practiced on the animal, biologists found ten pounds of plastic bags in her stomach which was the cause for the death of this magnificent creature. People have to learn that by polluting the environment they are also being cruel to the living creatures with which we share this planet. This whale suffered a slow and painful death because of the irresponsible actions of leaving garbage on the beaches and not throwing away the trash in an appropriate container. |
