(From thinkspain) Experts from the Marineland aquatic zoo are conducting a thorough examination of the body of a ten-metre long sperm whale found yesterday in Font de sa Cala (Capdepera, Mallorca) in an attempt to establish cause of death.
The badly-rotting corpse was found ensnarled in fishing nets and pierced with a harpoon.
After inspecting the corpse and compiling a photographic log, the team of marine biologists will arrange for it to be removed from the inaccessible rocky cove on the northeast coast of the island where it was discovered by local residents yesterday morning.
