Update Dead Calf

Townsville Bulletin: Dead whale recovery 'to take days' [ 03aug05 ]: "MARINE authorities say it could take days to recover the body of a dead baby humpback whale and determine if it was killed by shark nets on Queensland's Gold Coast"

The last post about the task of trying to recover the dead humpback calf had not been completed due to the distressed mother protecting it. They hope that the calf's body will float to the surface within 3 days, and then will be able to recover it and examine it to determine what the cause of death was. Whether the calf died from being caught in the shark nets or any other means.
