A sperm whale has died after getting stranded in the waters of Uson, Masbate.

According to Kuya Kim's report on "24 Oras," Tuesday, the whale measured around 55 feet long and 11 meters wide.The Philippine Coast Guard and the local government unit of Uson carried out rescue efforts, but the animal's size made it difficult."Very challenging lang po kasi kasing laki siya ng bus kaya napakahirap sa mga responder 'yung pag-attempt ng rescue. Sabayan pa ng low tide doon sa area.

Rescuers were able to move the sperm whale to deeper waters, but the animal got stranded again and eventually died."Possible po na may sakit yung sperm whale. Nagkaroon na ng successful release and bumalik naman po siya," Romano said. "Nagkaroon lang kami ng collection of sample para ma-identify talaga 'yung cause of death ng animal."To dispose the carcass, it was simply pulled to deeper waters.
