A 17-meter-long fin whale with a deformed spine was spotted off the coast of Cullera, Spain on March 6. Biologists and veterinarians confirmed that the 40-ton male whale was not entangled but had a serious deviation in its spine. The cause of the whale's scoliosis is unknown, and it could reappear near the coast due to its condition. Drone footage released by Guardia Civil shows the whale swimming.
