Dead whale washed up on Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia *VIDEO*
June 28, 2011
The Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service says samples taken from a dead whale will be given to scientists.
A juvenile humpback washed ashore at Northcliffe on the northern Gold Coast yesterday afternoon.
The Gold Coast City Council removed the whale’s body from Narrowneck overnight.
Authorities say it probably died of natural causes.
Acting regional manager of the Moreton Bay Marine Park, Nicola Udy, says there was no indication of injury and specimens will be examined.
“Often they don’t really come back with any conclusive causes of death,” she said.
“There’s a lot of researchers though that are doing work on pesticide build up and all sorts of things that can be stored in the blubber, so taking samples often helps us understand the whale population and what can affect them.”
Ms Udy says the number of whale deaths is growing as more of the mammals move through the area.
“Every year we probably respond to about four or five,” she said.
