at Zamboanga City, southern Philippines September 19, 2012.
City Veterinarian Dr. Mario Arriola told the local newspaper the whale was pregnant.
The cause of the death of the sperm whale was natural sickness, Dela Cruz said. It was dead for at least two days before it was found by the coast guard.
The authorities have decided to bury the whale at the fish cemetery of the Zamboanga State College of Marine Sciences and Technology.
