Sperm Whale (Physeter macrocephalus).

While I was in Poland  a dead Sperm Whale Physeter macrocephalus was washed into Rikoriko Cave at the Poorknights Marine Reserve, New Zealand. Unconfirmed reports are that the Department of Conservation tried removing it and the skeletal remains are streched over a  large distance.
