It was reportedly a humpbackor gubarte , also called a humpback whale, approximately 11 meters long and 6 meters wide, whose natural habitat would be the saltwater ocean. As a result, the Municipal Secretariat of Health, Sanitation and Environment [Semma] has been carrying out an investigation to determine why the marine animal was far from its natural habitat and in the winter season.
