Manila, Philippines (AHN) - A small injured whale died hours after authorities saved it from the contaminated shallow waters of Manila Bay.
Local residents say that the 2-meter endangered (6-foot) dwarf sperm whale was mistaken for a shark and pelted with stones.
The Philippine Star reports that Edwyn Alesna, of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, said the whale could have found its way into Manila Bay after being separated from its pod when tropical storm Chanchu swept through the central Philippines over the weekend.
