Whale Trapped In Tuas Bay

Monday, 31st January 1994

A 4m female false killer whale (Pseudorca crassidens), appeared trapped for a week within Tuas Bay, a large man-made bay, in January 1994. After refusing attempts to guide it out of the bay, its carcass was found outside the bay with body injuries by some fishermen. The fishermen then dragged it to shore. It had evaded two earlier attempts by rescuers.
