One and a half meter long whale penis washed up on Bornholm

Beach cleaners on Bornholm usually find plastic or other garbage when cleaning the island's beaches. Now they have come across a highly unusual find during their work.

In summer, a dead humpback whale washed up on the Danish coast — now we know that it was a male. During cleaning work, his penis was discovered on Bornholm beach.

Hvalpenis is believed to originate from humpback whales that washed ashore at Dueodde earlier in the summer.

At first, the find was thought to be a sea snake. An investigation then revealed what happened to the rest of the animal.
