(From liverpoolecho.co.uk)- A dead whale has been washed up on Formby beach. The whale, found opposite the Albert Road track on Saturday night, is thought to be a Minke whale. It is about seven metres long and two metres in wide. Minke whales can grow up to 30ft long and have been seen off the coast of Scotland, although they prefer cooler regions to tropical areas. They are dark above and white below with a pointed head. They are found in the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian and Arctic oceans.
