Another whale in another forest

Interesting media coverage today for a rotting carcass of a humpback whale which has been found on the Atlantic shore near the mouth of the Amazon River.  Apparently it lies about 15m inland from the shoreline, and the speculation is that the animal was very dead when it arrived, and that it was washed inland during an unusually high tide, with considerable waves washing into the forest.  

Bloggers will recall this post:

in which I speculated about the origins of a blue whale found in among the debris of the submerged forest on the Pembrokeshire coast.

At a time of rising sea-level, around 7,000 years ago, there must have been many examples of dead marine mammals being washed onto the shore and tangled up among the broken tree stumps and fallen branches resulting from the overwhelming and destruction of the forest.
