Dead melon whale found in Baclayon
« on: August 29, 2009, 08:12:59 PM »
Baclayon, Bohol:  A 1.3 meters dead melon headed whale (Peponocephala electra) was found floating at around 4 km south west of Pamilacan Island at 7:41 AM Saturday, August 19, 2009.   The whale was found by the crew of MB/CA PIBOSA - Pamilacan Tours 2 namely Daniel Operio - Boat Captain and assisted by Efipanio Operio, Apolinar Miculob with Local Guide Mary Aguipo.  They were searching for dolphins and whales in the area when they sighted the whale.  The whale is believed to be dead 5 or 7 days ago as it is already at the decomposing stage. 

The whale was brought to the Baluarte, Baclayon for some identification.   Mayor Alvin Uy was informed by Jojo Baritua of the Pamilacan Island Boat Operators and Spotters Association (PIBOSA) which immediately proceeded to Baluarte.  Both parties agreed that the whale will be buried immediately.

Thanks for posting Ms. Pamilacan.  Unsa may naka-ingon ani?  Ngano ang date lagi sa Photo posted  Jan. 2005 pa man lagi? Is this the actual dead whale or it just look similar to this?  First time I saw this kind of a whale. Sayang!

The crew of the boat believe that the whale could have been entangled by a fishing net but was eventually released.  The picture was taken yesterday, at the Baluarte, Baclayon, Bohol medyo may problema lang sa setting sa date sa Camera. Usually the color of this whale is dark gray with destinctive white markings on its face.

The whale has been dead for some time as its carcass is already bloating, already decomposing. Thanks for bringing this up for the community to read and see, Pamilacan.

This is much appreciated. Keep up the good work!

Best,
A. Lorenzo
