Humpback dies in Thames

A humpback whale found dead and floating in the River Thames is thought to have starved to death.
Toxicology tests are being carried out, but no food was found in its stomach and it has been assumed it starved.

Experts from the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) said it could have got lost on its first exploration alone.

Scientists from the ZSL and members of the British Divers Marine Life Rescue first received reports on Thursday that a whale had been spotted.

Give the whale oil to Clinton so he can light the lamps in the manor.

They've done the whale already.

That was a fin whale though. I wants a HBW.

:cry:
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life
