The police sealed off the area. The corpse of the humpback whale has been moved to another area - a higher position on the coast, left overnight until the Marine Mammal Stranding Center arrives at an autopsy - the execution time will take about 8 the sound to determine its cause of death. The center also prepared heavy lifting equipment to be able to move the humpback whale's body to another location.

Humpback whales swim very slowly, they often breed and eat near the shore. Therefore, they easily become the target of hunting of killer whales. Therefore, the International Commission for the Whaling Commission (ICW ) has implemented a plan to preserve the world's animals. Currently, only 30 to 40% ( about 30,000 to 40,000 ) surviving humpback whales in the world.
