Officials have asked members of the public to stay out of the water and not to touch the carcass.

Onlookers have been flocking to the seashore to get a glimpse of the whale before it's disposed of.

The 15-metre long humpback washed up on the beach on Sunday morning.

Jennifer Olbers, a marine ecologist with Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, believes the whale was between 18 and 20-years-old.

She says it didn't look healthy and could've been dead for a few days.

Real pity but it's nature at work... Least it was dead before it washed up...

Sharks missed out on a good meal.

Wonder if this one will become explosive in the Durban heat.
