In a distressing incident off the coast of Brazil, a young female orca, only 16 feet in length, was found dead on Serra Beach, Espírito Santo.
The day before her tragic demise, this orca was seen exhibiting unusually friendly behavior towards fishermen. This interaction, initially perceived as playful, is now seen as heartbreaking.
The orca’s body, thin and scarred with shark bites, revealed a shocking truth. A necropsy conducted by Brazil’s Orca Institute found a 2.5-foot-long , alongside other plastic debris, in her stomach. This tragic discovery underscores the ongoing crisis of plastic pollution in our oceans.
