An immature male sperm whale beached in Glace Bay this week. He wasn't fully grown yet, which makes it all the more distressing for me.

Wash-ups are common on the island, but I suspect this whale died of impact with a ship (as there are propellor cuts on the dorsal fin and a slump in the vertebrae).

I went to over to give my respects to a life lost, and was aggrevated to see parents letting their children crawl all over the body. A magnificent creature...reduced to a tourism attraction. :no:

Yes, I am fascinated by death.These pictures are being posted to show you an animal that died in its prime, and due to causes that can be prevented. Most people will never see these beautiful animals, I spent an hour with this animal, knowing full well that I may never see one alive.
