The experts examined the body and collected the necessary data. Later, the body was disposed of in coordination with the Abu Dhabi Waste Management Company (Tadweer).

“The whale species was identified as Bryde's whale, which feeds on small marine organisms through a filtration system. This species is of great importance as it contributes to the ecological balance in marine ecosystems,” the agency said.

However, the EAD didn't explain the cause of the whale's death.
