Big news from Wednesday.A 30 ft Fin Whale was discovered beached by a beach walker who by herself at the beginning was pouring water on it. Later she was joined by dozens of people and working together got the whale back in the water..pretty incredible
I was thinking the same. The Mex Navy could always tow it out forty or fifty miles and use it for a machine gun target. If it sinks out there the camarones would sure be happy for a couple of months. It didn't seem to have enough fat on it to interest the Great Whites out there.
More than likely it will be blown into Bahia San Jorge or the Salinas Point beaches where it will be a delicious windfall for hundreds of scavengers and finally end up as yard art on a beach front property.
It washed up semi close to where it beached the 1st time. You could tell it was hurt/sick because in the video of it going out into the water
it's breathing looked labored and it looked lethargic. But being beached for hours, that didn't help at all. Sad, but nature doing it's business.
I didn't know some whales stay here when the water get's really warm, Thx Russ.
On FB people are posting the whale that died was a different one than the one rescued, Who knows?
Someone should text the Seri Chief down there at Punta Chueca.
Let him know about those two windfalls before they get too ripe. They would be up here in a few hours with chain saws, axes, hatchets, cleavers, knives and ice cream scoopers. There would be nothing left in a very short time but the bones and a lot of happy tummies back at the Rez!
Ain't nothing in the world as sweet as a slab of naturally aged tender black bloody salty baby Fin Whale meat deep fried in a disco filled with Fin Whale blubber.
