The carcass of a whale belonging to an endangered species of the mammal is found off the coast of Kish Island in southern Iran and buried there.<\/p>\n
Authorities say the skeleton of the whale will be taken to the marine life museum on the island in the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cInitial studies failed to shed light on the cause of the death of this whale,\u201d said Maryam Mohammadi, the head of the Environment Office of Kish Island.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause around five days had passed since the Whale\u2019s death, and no injury was observed on the corpse of the whale, and the carcass was decomposing, it was impossible to find the exact cause of death,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n
The official underlined the 14.5-metre-long female whale is a Bryde\u2019s whale, which is listed on Appendix II of the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals.
\nThis type of whale is estimated to weigh five tonnes.<\/p>\n
