Whale of a tale with a sad ending...

A whale that was estimated to have been at least 130 years old survived an attempt at harpooning him around 1890 but unfortunately wasn't so lucky recently as hunters killed him this time and while chopping up his body with a chain saw discovered a piece of the harpoon from the earlier attempt.

Personally, I hope that the blubber from such a geriatric whale gives them all indigestion....
