Dissected dead Whale in Naples The first dissections on the carcass of the whale found dead last Thursday in the waters of the port of Sorrento are underway in the port of Naples. The examinations will provide further clarification on the death. This is what Raffaele di Palma reports to ANSA, which takes care of the communication of the Amp (Marine Protected Area) Punta Campanella between the Sorrento and Amalfi coasts. A first hypothesis has it that the animal was killed by a virus, the so-called whale measles. The length of the mammal, a fin whale that could be a hybrid between the two most frequent races in the Mediterranean, is 19.85 meters, a measure that, pending a final confirmation, would make it the largest fin whale ever recorded
