Drone camera footage captured an enormous fin whale with a deformed spine suffering from a rare case of “severe scoliosis.”
The 55-foot-long, 40-ton fin whale was captured struggling to swim through the water off the coast of the city of Cullera in Valencia, Spain earlier this month.
It was initially presumed that the whale had become entangled in a fishing net as it was listing in shallow waters and appeared to be moving with difficulty close to a lighthouse in the city of Cullera.Rare Case, the Oceanografic Foundation in Valencia revealed that they discovered that the whale was not caught in a net but was actually “suffering from a severe deviation in its spine — a scoliosis of unknown origin that completely altered its anatomy.
Biologists from Valencia’s Oceanographic Foundation reported that they hoped to fit a tracking device onto the whale. However, according to a statement, the rescue team could not manage to put a tracker on the 40-ton whale “due to its size, location and deformation.”
