A whale found dead with stomach full of rubbish

Marine biologists from Taiwan conducted an autopsy on a dead while on October 24, 2015 and found the whale' stomach was full of plastic bags and fishing net. The rubbish found in the stomach is quite enough to fill up an excavator bucket. The whale was found stranding off the southern town of Tongshi on October 15. It is a mature sperm whale which is 15-metre long. Coastguards put them back to the ocean but found it dead around twenty kilometres away 3 days later. Scientists guess that the rubbish may be the greatest factor of the death. The whale might have suffered heart or lung disease and some other infections. However, the rubbish made by human beings, which can reduce appetite, thus causing malnutrition, may be the key point to the death. The whale's death highlights the increasing threat caused by ocean trash. Scientists are calling everyone to improve ocean environment.
