Paus yang Hilang di Teluk Osaka Dikonfirmasi Mati

Feb 20 (News On Japan) - Seekor paus yang tersesat ke Teluk Osaka dan tidak bisa bergerak telah dipastikan mati pada hari Senin. Pihak berwenang sedang mempertimbangkan untuk menguburkannya di darat atau memindahkannya ke area laut lain.

Menurut Prefektur Osaka, paus tersebut telah dikonfirmasi mati oleh para ahli pada hari Senin pagi.

Paus yang diyakini sebagai paus jantan ini memiliki panjang sekitar 12 meter. Paus ini pertama kali terlihat bulan lalu di lepas pantai Kota Kobe dan sejak saat itu tetap berada di Pelabuhan Sakai-Senboku di Osaka.

Paus tersebut ditemukan di area yang sangat dangkal, tanpa adanya organisme yang dapat dijadikan makanan, sehingga menyebabkan paus tersebut mengalami penurunan kondisi kesehatan. Prefektur Osaka mengonfirmasi pada hari Minggu bahwa paus tersebut sudah tidak lagi bergerak.

Metode untuk mengatasi bangkai paus tersebut sedang dalam pertimbangan, termasuk opsi penguburan di darat atau relokasi ke area laut lainnya. Prefektur berencana untuk mengambil keputusan pada malam Senin, 19 Februari.
