Huge 35ft-long sperm whale found dead on Lincolnshire beach.
Crowds of interested people gathered to see the 35ft (10.7m) whale, which was first spotted near the bottom of Skegness Pier. But they were repelled by the repugnant smell of the animal, which has large gashes across its back and may have been dead for several days. Experts believe the whale collided with a boat and could have been dead for several days before finally washing ashore. Naturalist Tony Burgess, said: "If they get into shallow waters the weight of their bodies on their lungs makes it difficult for them to breathe. Male sperm whales are abundant in nearly all of the earth's oceans and undertake vast migratory journeys.
