(From thinkspain.com)- An eight-metre long sperm whale weighing around five tonnes was found floating off the south coast of Menorca this morning. It was spotted by the crew of a regional coastal cleaning vessel roughly one nautical mile from the Es Canutells area. It is thought that the whale may have been died after being caught accidentally, then thrown back into the sea. Last June, a dead sperm whale was found washed up on Capdepera beach on Mallorca after getting entangled in fishing nets.
