Dead humpback whale found on popular Rio beach during migration season

In Brazil's São Conrado beach in Rio de Janeiro, the remains of a dead humpback whale were discovered on Monday.

The whale was in an advanced state of decomposition, and authorities cordoned off the area, as people gathered to witness the unusual scene.

According to biologists and fishermen, the remains are those of a calf that may have been separated from its mother during migration, as dozens of humpback whales pass along the Brazilian coast around this time of year.
