A young Melon-Headed whale which had been pregnant with an almost full-term calf was found dead at Princess Bay in Argyle, Tobago in the morning of the 10th of September 2019. The whale was spotted the day before in shallow waters. It probably followed fishermen in search of food and had difficulties getting out of the shallow water. The cause of death was attributed to starvation and stress. The autopsy revealed it had not eaten for more than eight days.
