(AFP/Getty Images)A young male sperm whale that was found dead off the coast of Spain had 64 pounds (29 kilograms) of garbage in its digestive system. A picture shared by a local environmental group showed what appears to be a severely underweight sperm whale. This wasn’t the first time a sperm whale turned up dead onshore, its body filled with trash. Last month, a 29-foot sperm whale was found dead on Indonesia’s Lombok Island, east of Bali, though it’s unclear how it died.
