Premise: At around 20-25 m long the whale is believed to be a blue whale – the largest species on earth. Reports from local commercial fishermen and a ship leaving Port Taranaki indicate that the dead whale may have been floating close off the Taranaki coast since at least Sunday. Department of Conservation Acting Senior, Biodiversity Ranger Callum Lilley said it’s uncommon to get large whales washed up along the coastline
