It was late Tuesday when people of Newport Beach, near Sydney, Australia, saw a strange
scene, a 32 feet long monster humpback whale swimming in a public pool though it was only her carcass as it is still as to when she had lost its life and how. Whether she was tossed over fence of swimming pool by high tide in dead state or she he was alive and sighed out his last breaths in the public pool.
She was hurled over into the fence when she was travelling to warmer northern climes. She
is as huge that her length is exactly the same as a London double-decker bus - he is, without doubt, a leviathan of the deep end.
Whether he was abandoned by his pod or simply couldn't keep up because of age or injury is unclear. But it is now a nervous wait to see if the next high tide will rise enough to reclaim him back into his Pacific
heartland.
If not, the New South Wales wildlife authorities must find a way to remove the rotting carcass, which is already beginning to emit a putrid smell.
National Parks authorities said they hope the whale carcass might float out of the pool area on the next high tide. Otherwise, workers might have to bring in a crane to remove the whale and then carve up the carcass.
One swimmer told Australian radio he saw the whale when he turned up for his regular morning dip.
'I swim every day and I'm not sharing my lane with that,' he said.
