Ang QingThe Straits TimesSeptember 16, 2025The 6.3m-long carcass of a baleen whale was found in the waters off Tanjong Pagar on Sept 6. "Whale encounters in Singapore waters are rare. The discovery also marks a decade since the museum last encountered and studied a whale carcass found in Singapore waters. The latest baleen whale find echoes an earlier chapter of Singapore's natural history, when the skeleton of another baleen whale was displayed here, the museum noted. The skeleton, once dubbed the Singapore Whale, was exhibited from 1907 to 1974, before it was gifted to the National Museum of Malaysia.
