Biologists were baffled to discover the body of a humpback whale being picked by vultures in the midst of trees and shrubbery in Brazil's Amazon jungle in late February. Marine experts with Bicho D’água believe a powerful tide may have launched the whale inland. “Along with this astonishing feat, we are baffled as to what a humpback whale is doing on the north coast of Brazil during February because this is a very unusual occurrence," Emin continued, noting that it's also an odd time of year for humpback whale sightings. “Depending on the state of decomposition, some information may already have been lost," Emin told the British publication. When mature, humpback whales can grow up to 62 feet and weigh around 40 tons — about the size of a bus, National Geographic states on its website.
