KOTA KINABALU: A juvenile Bryde’s Whale that was stranded and guided back to deeper waters off the Tanjung Aru beach three days ago, was found dead in a rock embankment along the same beach on Saturday (March 21). However, the same whale was again detected near Kota Kinabalu’s shoreline closer to Sutera Harbour Marina waters. He said the samples were sent to Lok Kawi Wildlife Park Clinic for necropsy analysis to determine the cause of death. Sabah has recorded about seven whale strandings in waters off the west coast of the state over the last two decades. The team carries out necropsy at the Lok Kawi Wildlife Park to determine the cause of death.
