Cape Town beach closed as live whale stranded

Cape Town - A live juvenile humpback whale is stranded at Sandy Bay, the City of Cape Town said on Sunday.

Whale beaches itself and journalist calls it juvenile. Insult to injury.
 
Wow very interesting I actually did not even imagine to think of that.

Thanks.

Well I am just glad they towed the carcass away, it's my favorite surf beach and I for one would not want a carcass there to attract sharks (even though the seals run rings around me there).

Surf will be good there in a day or two, glad the specialists did so well, pretty sad affair though. Last time I saw this was on Long Beach Kommetjie, but then it was about 25-30 small whales, think they where pilot whales. Marine guys told me one had a broken jaw, could have been the alfa, that then lead the pod onto the beach.

It's kark not being able to do anything :cry:
