A 10-meter long stranded whale was found off the coast of São Paulo State

On Monday morning, a stranded 10-meter-long whale was found on the beach of THE city of GUARUJA, a coastal state of São Paulo, according to the GREMAR Institute, which was a humpback whale that had decomposed when it was found.

Resident Black Givado said the whale ran aground on ENSEADA Beach, where he worked on Miguel ESTEFNO Avenue, saw the whale around 9 a.m. when staff had quarantined the site.

Biologists at the institute said the humpback whale was about 9.5 meters long, was a female, and was supposed to be between adolescence and adulthood. Researchers are analyzing its cause of death through autopsy. The whale was dead by the time it was found, and the carcass had begun to decompose.

Last Thursday, a whale, about 7 meters long, was also spotted on MUOISES Beach in the city of GUARUJA. On the same day, another dead whale was found on the beach of Gonzaga in the city of SANTOS.

Biologist Eric says the Coast of Brazil is a migration route for whales. Because Antarctica can become very cold during this season of the year, whale migration season is from April to September.

Along the coast of Brazil's SANTOS, as well as along the coast of the northeastern region of Brazil, the waters are warm and calm, suitable for whale breeding.

Despite the fact that whales are stranded, experts believe this is normal because the number of whales is increasing, and about 20,000 humpback whales currently follow this migration route, so the number of dead whales will also increase.

Experts say the increase in fishing nets at sea, as well as the increase in garbage and pollution, as well as boats, are among the causes of whale deaths. When they die in areas near the coastline, the bodies are washed onto the beach by the waves.
