After seeing pictures of dead creatures, the three experts on the marine biologist Scott Baker of Oregon State University, Bill Perrin and Bob Brownell of the National Fisheries Service, argued that the carcass was a dead whale.

"Based on the streaks in the throat, we agreed that it was the carcass balaenopterid," Baker said, as quoted from Life's Little Mysteries, June 23, 2011. "Judging from the size of which reaches 16.7 meters long, chances are it is a fin whale," he said.

Researchers hope, there are collecting samples of bone and muscle tissue or the meat of sea creatures are to be analyzed genetically. The reason, saving the whale carcass is very rare along the coast of China.

When found, the animal is caught in the rope. Local population estimates, fishermen had tried to catch the animal but can not prevail against it because the size is too big.
