Default Sperm whales found dead in Skegness
Three dead sperm whales have been discovered washed up on the Lincolnshire coast.

One of the whales was found dead on Skegness beach at about 6.30am on Sunday morning, while the two others were discovered a few miles south at about 8.30pm on Saturday evening.
Coastguard rescue teams from Sekegness and Chapel St Leonards were called to cordon off the area and members of the public are being advised not to come close to the dead animals.

This comes after another sperm whale, estimated to be 45ft long and weighing 30 tonnes, died on Friday after becoming stranded in shallow waters off the coast of west Norfolk, despite rescue workers' efforts to release it.

The three whales who died on the Lincolnshire coast are thought to be part of the same pod spotted by the rescue team on Friday, but it is the whereabouts of the rest of the pod remains unknown.

They say they could all be from the same pod and perhaps got stuck on the rocks.
They're amazing creatures and its sad when this happens.

If they drift into too shallow waters they can't survive, poor things

One of the Whale pod has been discovered in the CBB house masquerading as a human.
