Wounded whale found dead on a nearby island in the Greek Capital

A wounded whale that washed near Athens last week has been found dead on a nearby island in the Greek Capital.
This was revealed by the Greek government stating that the male Cuvier’s beaked whale was first found on a beach south of the Greek capital late last week. The dolphin-like whale had a badly wounded lower jaw, as experts quickly gave it hydration and antibiotics before returning it to the sea on Friday evening.
However, coastguard boat looking out for the whale found its remains on Wednesday on the eastern coast of Salamis Island, west of Athens, the environment ministry said. Meanwhile a team of veterinarians and experts recovered the whale to carry out tests to determine whether it had any disease or injury of public significance, the ministry added.
