A 15-meter whale was found beached off the southwest corner of Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.

Residents and fishermen found the dead whale washed ashore in the southern province of Jazan.

A video of the dead beached whale shows signs of decomposition and markings from other sea animals eating away at the whale.

A similar incident occurred in 2012 when a 12-meter whale, which reportedly travelled from the Indian Ocean, was found dead in the same area.
