Whales beached in Cua Lo, Nghe An province.

(Baonghean.vn) - At 3:30 PM on April 11th, while enjoying themselves on Cua Lo beach, some tourists discovered a dead whale washed ashore in the area opposite Binh Minh Square (Nghi Huong Ward, Cua Lo Town).This is the third time in a month that whale carcasses have washed ashore in the Cua Lo and Cua Hoi areas (Nghe An province).

Tourists discovered a dead whale on the beach.

This whale that washed ashore was small, measuring nearly 1 meter in length and weighing about 40 kg, with numerous injuries. This has raised many concerns and questions about why so many whales have washed ashore in just under a month.

After being informed, many fishermen and representatives of the Nghi Huong ward government (Cua Lo) were present to conduct a funeral ceremony for the whale according to folk beliefs.

This whale is 1 meter long and weighs approximately 40 kg.

Previously, on March 16th, fishermen in Xuan Loc hamlet, Nghi Xuan commune (Nghi Loc district) discovered a whale carcass washed ashore several days earlier, already beginning to decompose. The whale was approximately 1.5 meters long, weighed over 50 kg, and showed signs of numerous injuries.

Twenty-two days later (on April 8th), while out at sea fishing, the boat of Mr. Nguyen Huu Hoa's family (Tan Nho Hamlet, Nghi Hai Ward, Cua Lo Town) discovered a whale carcass drifting near the Cua Hoi estuary. The fact that so many dead whales had washed ashore in such a short time caused concern among many fishermen.
