Remarkable Pictures of Trout River Dead Whale Getting Dissected
- 10 years ago
Several weeks ago, a roughly 60 ton, 81-foot long whale washed ashore in Trout River, Canada. Now, staffers at Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto are slicing the whale into smaller sections so it can be removed off the shore.
A deceased whale is a major hassle to get rid of. That fact was especially true for one small town in Newfoundland, Canada.
Several weeks ago, the roughly 60 ton, 81-foot long whale washed ashore in Trout River, Canada. Not long after the carcass surfaced on the sand, residents began fearing it would explode, as it appeared to be bloated to twice its pre-deceased size.
Well now, the fears and speculation can be squashed. The whale did not explode and now staffers at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto are slicing it into smaller sections to be removed off the shore.
Each dissected whale part is then transported to the museum. The process isn’t exactly easy as staffers still required the help of heavy equipment to remove some of the sections but they’re getting there piece by piece.
The Royal Ontario Museum is posting photos on Twitter that document the tedious and messy operation
