“Never before has a humpback whale swam so far up the Scheldt”: marine biologist explains why such a lost whale rarely ends well

“As far as we can tell from our data, never before has a humpback whale swum so far up the Scheldt that it reached Belgian waters,” says marine biologist Kelle Moreau of the Institute of Natural Sciences about the humpback whale that was spotted this morning in the Scheldt near the Doel nuclear power plant. Has this young animal simply gotten lost, or is there a tragic health problem that will prove fatal to him just like Timmy?
