A dead whale has been found on coast of Hasak in Saadah in Dhofar Governorate. It measured around 14m in length and 7m in width.


According to Environment Society of Oman (ESO), he whale found stranded on the coast of Hasik is a baleen whale, and the exact species is yet to be confirmed. "Baleen whales don't have teeth but gulp large amounts of water and use their baleen plates to filter out their food such as krill over hours," ESO said.
