It washed ashore in Karachi --- sixty-nine feet of decomposing blubber.
Beachgoers were the first to spot the dead whale. By mid-day curious locals were wading into the water for a better look. They climbed onto the monstrous carcass and examined the the whale bone.

They also warned locals not to climb over the carcass --- adding that doing so could cause them to develop skin infections.
