The dead whale was found on the beach near the village of Hollum.<\/p>\n<p> <span id=\"more-20985\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Local animal rescue organisation Stichting ReddingsTeam Zeedieren (Marine Animal Rescue Team Foundation) and Dierenambulance (Animal Ambulance) Ameland said the whale had already been dead for some time before reaching the beach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After talks with the local authorities, it was decided to leave the whale\u2019s body on the beach. A researcher from Utrecht University told Dutch broadcaster <a href=\"https:\/\/nos.nl\/artikel\/2632500-dode-walvis-aangespoeld-op-strand-ameland\">NOS<\/a> that whales wash ashore in the Netherlands only a few times a year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is unlikely that researchers will be able to find out how this whale died. The body is already in an advanced state of decomposition. According to the researcher, most of the whale\u2019s organs can no longer be properly examined because of this.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fin whales are the second-largest whale species in the world, after blue whales. They can grow to more than 20 meters long. The animals are found in oceans around the world, including the North Atlantic.<\/p>\n<p> <!-- Begin Mailchimp Signup Form --><link href=\"https:\/\/cdn-images.mailchimp.com\/embedcode\/classic-10_7.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\"\/>   <!--End mc_embed_signup--><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-the-animal-reader wp-block-embed-the-animal-reader\"\/>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-the-animal-reader wp-block-embed-the-animal-reader\"\/>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Ab<\/em><\/strong><em><strong>out The Animal Reader:<\/strong> The Animal Reader is an international animal news organization covering the latest stories about animals from around the world.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An 11-metre-long fin whale has washed ashore on Ameland, an island in the north of the Netherlands.
