Mystery in Brazil: How Did a Giant Whale End Up in the Jungle?

How does a massive 11-meter long and 6-meter wide whale end up deep in the jungle? Residents of Inverness, a city near the island where it was found, are trying to solve this mystery.

The locals were baffled, questioning how such a large marine mammal like a humpback whale could be discovered so far from the coastline. "Even assuming an unusually high tide is responsible, it's still strange that the whale was found so far from the sea," the astonished locals said.

Experts who examined the giant whale concluded it wasn't hunted, as no signs of violence or injuries were found on its body.

Given the dense, thick jungle, residents rule out the possibility that someone dragged the whale into the forest. "There's no chance," they insist. "A whale like this weighs no less than 30 tons. It's not feasible that it got here alone. Maybe it's some kind of crime."

In the coming days, a necropsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death. However, for now, the prevailing opinion is that it was indeed an unusually high tide that 'threw' the whale into the remote location where it was found.
