A majestic skeleton of a male killer whale has been found on Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, The Siberian Times reported Sunday.
The sea creature was found on the shore of a beach by a wildlife inspector who was on patrol at the Kronotsky Nature Reserve.
“It is quite likely that the carcass got washed ashore at the end of spring, and it arrived just in time for hungry post-hibernation bears to have their first snack,” Marina Vorontsova, an employee at the reserve, was cited as saying by The Siberian Times.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
