The rotting carcass of a nearly 14-metre (46-foot) whale washed up Thursday on Bali beach popular with tourists.
The conservation agency said it was investigating the death of the giant creature, which was first spotted in shallow waters near Batu Belig beach, north of Seminyak.
Curious onlookers gathered around the carcass but the strong smell of decay put many off, said one local.
Bali conservation official Prawono Meruanto said the creature could be a Bryde s whale, and that its carcass was later buried at the beach using an excavator.
