Smaug Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 If he goes further up stream the fresh water will kill it, poor thing. And he keeps beaching himself. Not the first time though...!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borgteddy Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 The whale has only been there for a day hasn't he? He could still be fine. He's not the first whale to swim in a river: In 1966 a white whale swam upstream in the river Rhine for a month You can read more about it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emma_w Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Sky News are live at the river and it looks as if the poor thing (referred to as Wally) has stranded himself and they are assessing him. Its pure action! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vamps! Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Picture by Alx, 916323[/snapback] I have to say I think that picture is appalling. I think its a shame to see animals used for human entertainment. Regardless of whether its in a conservation place or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Miss Idiot Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 It was an elderly whale, it's common for them to go find somewhere to die when they reach that time. I'm sure it gave the Peta heel wearing girlies something to squeal about but it's just nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomi-noo Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 It was an elderly whale, it's common for them to go find somewhere to die when they reach that time. 917494[/snapback] I thought that it was a baby, 'coz it was only 5m long, they normally grow to about 12m... I saw him, under Battercea Bridge on my way to an audition I had yesterday, I think this was just after he beached. Its a shame that he died, but at least hes not in any pain anymore. Right?? Also, this isnt the first time there have been wales in the thames, my dad says there were some a couple hundred years ago, and there ahve also been platapi (sp) and dolphins in the thames before now.

Yeah it was only a baby which had been seperated from its mother. I wouldnt be surprised it there were 3 headed fish in there too though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Miss Idiot Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 The whale was 18ft (5m) long. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4636278.stm I'm sure I saw a news story yesterday which said it was elderly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
