Southern Right whale washed up in Rakaia River, New Zealand
March 9, 2012
When Michelle Hofmeester (with whale) heard a whale had washed up on the beach near her home at the South Rakaia Huts, she had to see it for herself.
And she couldn’t believe her eyes.
The whale, possibly a Southern Right whale, was huge – about seven metres long. But it was dead.

A man who had come across it earlier in the day – about 1.5km from the Rakaia River mouth – told her it was there.
“You sort of have to go and have a look really. It’s a bit sad; I don’t even know if it’s fully grown, it seemed quite small really so it might have been young,” she said.
Living at the huts, she often walks or bikes in the area and it isn’t the first strange find she’s come across on the beach; last year she found a large sunfish, dead on the beach. She’s also found a dead albatross before.
But the whale of a find took the cake.
