Mystery surrounds humpback whale found dead in depths of Brazil’s Amazon jungle

Quote

Brazilian wildlife experts have been left baffled after discovering a dead humpback whale in the Amazon rainforest.

The 10-ton mammal was found in the jungle undergrowth on the island of Marajo, which sits at the mouth of the Amazon River.

Although scientists presume the enormous creature was hurled onshore during a storm, they do not understand how it came so far inland or why it was swimming off the coast in the first place.

Officials from Para state’s health, sanitation and environment department said they only found the 11m-long whale after following the birds of prey which were scavenging on its huge carcass.

The remains were deposited in such a remote part of the mangrove swamp in the Amazonian delta that it took two trips for the wildlife experts to reach the site.

Another thing that got forgotten was the fact that against all probability a humpback whale had suddenly been called into existence several miles above the surface of the Amazon.

-or-

Those Klingon Birds of Prey aren’t as reliable as they once were. 

Probably another power drop off due the the dirth of nuclear wessels from which scavenge fuel. 

Scotty put the wrong location in the transporter.

goddamn brilliant reference.

and the rest, after a sudden, wet thud, was silence. curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was oh no, not again.

Holy sci fi coincidence it's on right now......

I think I read about this once in a Clive Cussler novel. Has anyone seen McConaughey lately.

Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now.

That movie/book is a guilty pleasure of mine.

i love the book. i don't think the movie even approaches doing it justice, but it's also fun in its own way.

Very few movies ever do the book justice, but just enough of the quirky humor made it into the movie that it’s good for a laugh. Besides, I can’t get through the book in 2 hours.

Of course the movie isn't as good as the book but Sam Rockwell + Zooey Deschanel + Alan Rickman as Marvin = IN!

The BBC series was better than the movie.

Amazon bought a jungle and a river, and then delivered a humpback whale there?

Pretty impressive stuff, Bezos.

It was found strangled to death after attacking a passing jogger

Whale come to the jungle, we got fun and games.

We got everything you want, humpback we know the names.

Whale a run through the jungle.

Whale don't swim back you see.

It's rumoured that the first thing the natives said when they stumbled upon the carcass was:

"Whale, whale, whale, what do we have here?"
