Upon turning over the whale with the help of bulldozers, evident signs of shark feeding were visible on various parts of its body.

The rescue team can be seen carrying the lifeless giant with the aid of a harness, a challenging task given that this species of whale can weigh as much as 47 tons.

Wilfred Solomons-Johannes, the spokesperson for Cape Town’s Center for Disaster Risk Management, explained, “The decision to initiate the recovery operation was made promptly due to an increased presence of sharks in the waters off the beaches along the Fagge Bay coast.”

Despite the warning, the public’s curiosity remained unabated, with many people flocking to the site to witness the unusual occurrence.

Efforts were made by workers to relocate the carcasses of the stranded whales on Muizenberg Beach.
