Watch: 12-Metre Whale Found on Dubai Shore

Emergency teams from DP World found a Bryde's whale, weighing 15 tonnes and 12 metres long dead in Dubai by Jabal Ali canal.

Experts from the Sharjah Environment & Protected Areas Authority (EPAA) and Zayed University examined the carcass after moving the mammal to a safe location.

Valuable samples were collected to better understand the condition and ecology of this species in the region, and ultimately support the conservation of these marine creatures.

Bryde’s whales have smooth bodies with dark grey skin on top, and white skin on the bottom, and they are found only in the Indo-Pacific region according to the EPAA,
