Drone cameras have been monitoring a humpback whale which has swam an astounding 3,100 miles with a broken back.
The team at BC Whales is certain that Moon was stuck by a vessel due to the unnatural S bend in the spine.
“Her journey left her completely emaciated and covered in whale lice as testament to her severely depreciated condition. This is the stark reality of a vessel strike, and it speaks to the extended suffering that whales can endure afterwards. “We know she’s not coming back to see us again. She is going to pass soon and we all feel: the sooner, the better.
