It is a calf of about a year old that has been separated from his mother for unknown reasons. How no more than 15 meters from the water ended up in the bushes, no one knows. It may have already died at sea and the cadaver was thrown on land during a storm. Humpbacks rarely come close to the Amazon mouth and certainly not at this time of the year. The cadaver was discovered by chance, because it attracted large flocks of bait birds.
