https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:S...angular%29.jpg Singapore is NOT part of the water that can normally find such SPERM WHALE. Why a dead one is here? http://www.straitstimes.com/singapor...-jurong-island Reseachers start dissecting sperm whale carcass found off Jurong Island Researchers from the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum have started to dissect the sperm whale carcass. Researchers from the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum have started to dissect the sperm whale carcass.PHOTO: SCREENGRAB FROM YOUTUBE Published Jul 10, 2015, 4:01 pm SGT Updated 8 hours ago Audrey Tan Chew Hui Min SINGAPORE - Researchers from the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum started dissecting the sperm whale carcass at the Tuas Marine Transfer Station on Saturday morning. They will try to reach the internal organs and gut by cutting through the outer layers of fat and muscle. Before starting the dissection, the researchers inserted metal tubes into the carcass to release gases that have built up in the abdominal area. Their work will include taking samples of its muscle tissue, which contains precious genetic information, and studying the contents of its stomach. The museum’s scientific officer, Mr Foo Maosheng - one of the team members - said: “By studying its stomach contents, we can possibly tell where it has been feeding and at what depths.” The 10m-long sperm whale carcass was found floating off Jurong Island on Friday morning. The species had never previously been found in the waters around Singapore or peninsular Malaysia. Oil industry worker Mr Jailani Salleh told The Straits Times that he spotted the dead mammal under a jetty at around 7.45am and posted a video of it on Facebook. Mr Marcus Chua, curator of mammals and birds at the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, was informed and told The Straits Times it was an “exciting find”. It is to be studied by scientists. The museum will now work to preserve the specimen, believed to be a young adult. A museum volunteer then informed Mr Chua about the incident at about 9.30am.
