Huge Sperm Whale Reduced to Empty Carcass After Ingesting 64 Lbs of Plastic The ocean's trash problem is getting out of hand. Indigestion can be crippling, leaving one toilet-bound for days. In the ocean, however, it can send you to your grave, especially if what you’ve been ingesting is plastic trash. That’s the tragic fate that befell a majestic sperm whale whose corpse washed up on the shores of southern Spain at the end of February. On Friday, environmentalists reported that its stomach contained 64 pounds of plastic waste. SOURCE
