WATCH: 35-ft long Bryde's whale washes up at Juhu Beach in Mumbai much to the shock of joggers

Joggers at Juhu beach were left amazed when they spotted a dead giant whale washed up on the suburban shores late on Thursday night.

As police and forest officials were apprised of the situation, on examination they identified the mammal as Bryde's Whale measuring around close to 35-40 feet and weighing around three to four tones approximately.

Here's a clear video showing the nature's fury on this mammal:


Looking at the decay, the forest officials expect the whale to have died at least two to three days back. They cited sound pollution under water, pollution from industries, plastic consumption or disease as the possible reasons for its death since there were no external injuries found on the body.

Initial examination also revealed internal decomposition of the organs had already started, and the outer skin of the whale, around the tail and stomach had started to peel off. The officials are now planning to deflate the carcass on the beach itself for fear of it exploding, and cranes have been called to remove the remains.

This is the second biggest whale to have beached along the Maharashtra coast. Last year, a blue whale washed up at Alibaugh and died after a 10-hour struggle to push her back into the sea.

Moreover, at least 80 whales were spotted in Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu, on 12 January this year. While 40 were saved, 45 others lost their lives.
