Description: at least 8 m long, must have been dead for quite a while. a very high tide must have thrown the carcass that far up the beach - way beyond the rocks of the shore.
Description: Over 50 whales stretching from Oudekraal to Llandudno. Tall blows. Small groups over a large area. Spotted from the shore. Occasional lobtail and breach.
Description: A poor beached whale found on the Jeffreys Bay coast in 2006. Must have been beached for quite a while as it smelled quite bad. Can someone explain the pink colour of the whale?
