------=_NextPart_000_066C_01 According to MARS reports at time of stranding and the examination by the necropsy team,t is a Pygmy Sperm Whale.. The animal was collected by the Marine Animal Rescue Society. We now have the skeletal remains at the Museum. I will confirm the ID from the skeletal remains, but the ID seems good (a small animal) Andrew A Hebda NSM Collections (Zoology) ________________________________________ From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] on behalf of Dusan Soudek [soudekd@ns.sympatico.ca] Sent: March-21-15 8:48 AM To: NatureNS Subject: [NatureNS] Pygmy Sperm Whale washes up in Halifax Harbour A letter to the editor (“Litter lethal to wildlife”) in a recent issue of The Chronicle Herald (March 20) mentions that a dead Pygmy Right Whale washed up on McNabs Island recently, and that a necropsy revealed several plastic items in its stomach. They apparently caused its demise. Does anyone have more information on this incident? Has the species ID been confirmed? Dusan
