A young sperm whale has been found dead in Sicily with a stomach full of plastic. It was a female and was so young that 'her teeth haven't come out yet.'
Greenpeace Italia said the carcass of the young animal -- estimated to be seven years old -- washed up on the beach at Cefalu, a popular tourist destination in Sicily, on Friday. Grim images posted on the group's Facebook page show the dead whale lying on the beach, its stomach full of plastic bags and other plastic objects. "As you can see from the images we're sharing, a lot of plastic was found in its stomach," Greenpeace Italia's Giorgia Monti said in a statement.
In another video, Isgro is seen putting the plastic he recovered from the whale's body in a recycling bin."It's impressive. Unbelievable," he says in the video. Isgro told CNN there were"several kilograms worth of plastic" inside the whale's stomach. "The plastic probably created a block that didn't let the food in," he said."That's very likely to be the cause of death. We have not found signs that could indicate another possible reason.
