Whale strands and dies in Vietnam

2025, May 31. Vietnam, Ninh Chu estuary in Tri Hai Commune, Ninh Hai District. A four-meter-long whale stranded and died. The cetacean was still alive when discovered by local fishermen who tried to return it to sea. However, it died while being towed near Khanh Hoi Village. Following local customs, the whale's carcass was brought to the Nam Hai temple for worship and traditional burial rites. Whales in Vietnam are reverently called 'Ca ong' (Lord Whale) and are believed to bring blessings.

Update: 2025, May 31. South Africa, Morgan Bay Beach. Dead dolphin.
