A whale about 10 metres (32 feet) long has been found dead on Palane Beach seafront in Quelimane.
Fisheries Research Institute delegate in Zambézia province, Daniel Mualeque, told O País that the animal may have left the channel and become stranded on a sandbar by the tide.
Mualeque said that, when a whale left the channel, it usually died of asphyxia, but added that several other causes could contribute to whale deaths.
Since the cause of the whale’s death could not be established, its meat could not be consumed, and authorities began the process of incinerating the carcass at around 9:00 p.m. on Sunday evening.
It was however possible, when ‘O País’ arrived on the scene, to identify cuts on the body obviously made by knives.
