A dead baleen whale was found in a Yorkshire field this week, about 800 meters away from the shoreline, off the Humber Estuary in England.

Experts are fairly confident the animal is a rare female sei whale, Balaenoptera borealis, according to The Telegraph. The whale is 33 feet (10 meters) long.

It is believed to have got stuck in shallow waters nearby. Andy Gibson from the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust told The Telegraph that there have only been three strandings of this species in UK waters during the last two decades.

"It is sad," he added. "It was in shallow water of about 1.2m (4ft) to 1.6m (5.25ft), making contact with the bottom."

looks like chuck norris was swimming when the whale decided to disturb him, they will find a boot marking on the whale somewhere.

Well, today is my birthday (10/7/2011), and I wished to see a whale. However, a mystic being misintepreted my wish and allowed me to see a whale flying over the horizon. Was it the whale I saw?

I thought the hunting of Space whales was illegal...

No, you just have to get a permit and register with the Association for the Conservation of Space Whales, and then you can put your name in a drawing every other year, provided you fill out the appropriate WI-16B form (be sure you've filed your WI-127A7 or else they won't know to expect your WI-16B though).
