Iloilo City – a huge whale with a length of about 36 feet has been found dead in the coastal areas of the Isla de Higantes, Carles.

The whale living in the deep might went to shallow waters looking for prey but unfortunately for an unidentified reason.

The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) turned over the preservation of the sea creature to the local government of Iloilo.

In another report, a dolphin has been found dead in the coastal waters of Magais Uno, Del Gallego in Camarines Sur.
