A rare blue whale was washed ashore on a beach front on the Mannar coast earlier today and the authorities were making arrangements to examine the dead mammal.
According to reports the whale is believed to have died some time ago before strong currents brought it to the shores in Mannar.
A wound on the highly decomposed body on one side of the mammal suggests that it would have been hit a rudder of a ship, somewhere in the deep seas.
