5th Whale Found On The East Coast In UK

I cannot see anyone with cutlasses, axes and large knives cutting off some nice chunky meaty whale, trust mi Nigeria peeps! Lol!

The fifth whale was found on Monday in Wainfleet, around five miles from Skegness.

The dead animals are understood to have been part of a group of six spotted in The Wash on Friday.

Four others whales have been found on the east coast of the country UK.

Three washed up in Skegness, Lincolnshire, and the fourth in Hunstanton, Norfolk.

They have been linked to a larger pod, some of which beached in the Netherlands and Germany.

East Lindsey District Council has said it may be a "few days" before the 48ft whales on the Skegness beach are removed.

In the meantime, scientists are inspecting the carcasses and trying to figure out what caused their deaths.

It is believed they died at sea before washing up over the weekend.

An explosive release of gas burst out from one of the whales as scientists cut into it on Monday.
