Why is there a whale beached on the banks of the Seine? This is what Parisians and tourists asked themselves when they found themselves in front of the enormous carcass of the cetacean on the side of the river that crosses the French capital.
How did a whale end up in a river? Near Our Lady, many have asked themselves this, thinking they are facing a collective hallucination. But approaching, if not with some fear, here is the truth: the cetacean is fake and it is an environmental installation.
The collective “Captain Boomer”, implemented this drama to raise people's awareness of whale and dolphin beaching. And the goal for now has been achieved.
The photos of the cetacean have traveled around the world, bringing to the fore an endemic problem that afflicts these inhabitants of the sea. Long approx 20 meters, the whale is very realistic.

The work will remain on the Senna for another couple of weeks, before leaving for another European capital. The latest incident was in February, when over 400 whales they beached themselves in New Zealand and about three-quarters of them died.
The sad truth about beached whales:
- 337 WHALES BEACHED IN PATAGONIA: A TRAGIC AND UNEXPLAINABLE PHENOMENON
- DIFFICULT AID FROM THE HERD OF WHALES BEACHED ON THE NEW ZEALAND COAST
- WHALE BEACHED IN MALAYSIA, TRACES OF PLASTIC IN HIS STOMACH
Globicephala melas specimens were found on Farewell Spit beach on the southern island. The worst incident of this type occurred in 1918, when about 1000 pilot whales ran aground on the Chatham Islands.
