Algeria, a country in the Maghreb region of North Africa, is home to a rich diversity of mammals. These include various species of whales.
In the port city of Oran, fishermen discovered a stranded
whale, the local media reported earlier this week. A video of a huge whale carcass went viral on social media.
The reasons for this incident, though, are not known. The whale also had wound marks along its side.
Although the cause of this
whale's death is unknown, other whales sometimes die from collisions with warships. Moreover, some countries are trying to obtain official permission for such actions.

US Navy officially requested permission to allow its ships to encounter large numbers of whales in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California during exercises, media reported.
US environmental groups have expressed their intention to try to block the move.
