Whale weighing 2.5 tons washed ashore at Rabat beach

A whale weighing 2.5 tons was washed ashore at a Rabat beach Saturday. According to Rabat urban commune vets, the dead mammal's age ranged between 6 and 12 months.

The animal is the first of the kind to be washed off in the region, the vets said, adding that the reason might be suicide or parasite-related brain infection, which would have affected the whale's orientation system.
