RE: strange creature washed up on the beach

Those are photos of great value @eolianpariah👏
I thank you very much for sharing this important information with us, due to the location in which you are located, and also to the morphology of the corpse, it is most likely that it is Neophocaena phocaenoides (Indo-Pacific finless porpoise)🐬
Although it is a corpse in advanced decomposition stage, it is observed that it lacks a dorsal fin (above the porpoise). The interesting thing here is that it is a threatened species! It is recommended that if one day you observe some other species, you contact the authorities of your country👌
@eolianpariah thanks for these photos! Remember that the purpose of this community is quality information. Let's share more content like this post! Reblog this post, we already did it👌👏🐬
