It is difficult to describe the size of a whale when washed on the ground. That is why Brendon Gould rose to the beach with his drone in River of Ponds, NL, on the Northern Peninsula.
In a video of social networks that has accumulated more than 10,000 visits, Gould lies on the rocks next to a defrosting and decomposition sperm voltage.
Sperm whales can weigh between 15 and 50 tons and measure between 11 and 18 meters.
“I’m a tall player,” Gould told CBC News. “That is quite great next to me.”
Look | Brendon Gould describes the whale of a story behind his viral video:
How big is a sperm flag? When one washed at the beach near the Pond river, photographer Brendon Gould thought of a way of capturing the immensity of the creature in an image: placing next to her and sending a drone.
The whale seemed to be frozen when Gould saw it for the first time in person, so he doesn’t know how long he has been there.
Fortunately for Gould, there was not much smell when he was on the floor, flying his drone on the beach.
It is known that sperm whales swim in the oceans of the world and inhabit deep waters. They are not considered a population at risk in Canada, but the National and National Atmospheric Administration of the United States lists it as an endangered species.
