A dead whale washed ashore on Juhu beach on Thursday night, spotted initially by joggers at around 9 pm. The dead mammal has been identified as Byrde's Whale, measuring around 25-30 feet, approximately weighing around three to four tonnes.

This comes after over 100 whales beached in Tuticorin of Tamil Nadu on 12 January, 2016, leading to the death of around 45.

"From initial examination, the whale seems to have died a day or two back. It bloated and was then carried in by the tide to the beach," Assistant Conservator of Forest, Makrand Ghodke, said.
