(LIVE SCIENCE) – An extremely stinky minke whale that washed ashore in Plymouth, Massachusetts, will now be carted off to a landfill.
One local said the stench was so bad it was "like death in a dumpster," according to news reports.
The dead whale was first spotted July 17, bobbing 1.4 miles (2.3 kilometers) offshore of Manomet Point, according to a Facebook post by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries Northeast/Mid-Atlantic office. It was already deceased. The next day, the carcass washed ashore on a private beach.
