220-pound ball of trash discovered in stomach of dead sperm whale

A juvenile whale was found dead on a Scottish beach with 100 kg of marine litter in its stomach. The debris, originating from both fishing and land sectors, included nets, ropes, and plastic items. While the debris did not block the whale's intestines, it caused indigestion and may have contributed to the stranding. The whale likely ingested the litter over a long period, possibly between the Azores and Norway. Efforts to understand the reasons behind this ingestion are ongoing.
