Bryde’s whale’s carcass beached on Phuket beach

The animals 10-metre-long body beached in front of the Trisara Hotel in Phuket’s Thalang district. 
Jenwit Wanich, a veterinarian from the Phuket Marine Biological Centre, checked the giant mammal’s carcass, concluding that the whale might have died about three weeks ago as the body had already been decomposing. 
“Normally, Brdye’s whales live in the deep-sea zone. In such a case, it might have felt very ill, died of a natural cause and was brought to shores by waves,” he said.
