Humpback whale discovered in the Amazon jungle baffles scientists. We take a look at how a humpback whale was discovered in the amazon rainforest and what scientists had to say about it. Recently one of these giant whales was discovered in the Amazon jungle. The first question was how did this whale end up here, the location where it was found is miles away from it’s natural habitat. The creature was measured to be over 11m long and 6m wide. It’s believed that this whale was around 12 months old. Scientists have taken samples of the creature to try and find out what it passed away from. Many theories have been put forward about how this whale ended up here. One of the first ideas was that a tornado caused the creature to be lifted from the sea. Although tornados are powerful there hasn’t been one in this area recently.

The video says it was found 11 miles from its natural habitat, but in reality it was only found 50 feet from the nearest water source. A storm could have washed it ashore. Slow news week…

Exactly.

The Amazon jungle floods during the rainy season each year. It probably swam in…can still see water in the background of the photo.

It was probably 11 miles from salt water ocean, it’s natural water habitat. The Amazon is a fresh water river.
