Officials find dead whale in Annapolis River after spring thaw
By THE CANADIAN PRESS=20
BRIDGETOWN _ Officials here found a dead whale this week in the =
Annapolis River with the arrival of the spring thaw.
Bridgetown mayor Art Marshall says officials suspect it could be the =
same whale that was spotted a couple of times in the river last fall.
They think it was a sperm whale calf that weighed between one and two =
tonnes.
He says firefighters used their zodiac to pull the whale to an area =
where it was loaded on a truck.
It was then taken away an buried.
It's not the first time a whale has made it through the tidal power =
plant in Annapolis Royal and into the river, but officials believe it's =
the first one that didn't make it back out.
