A whale with scoliosis spotted in Spain!

In all likelihood, a whale probably suffering from scoliosis was spotted off the Spanish coast.

At first glance, from a distance, authorities heading towards the whale thought it was caught in a net.

Once close by, they quickly noticed the whale's handicap.

On the video, one can clearly see a lateral curvature of its spine, called scoliosis.

Scoliosis affects about 3% of humans, and severe cases are painful and can even limit normal activities.

In short, one can imagine that this whale may be suffering in agony, even if the video can demonstrate that it remains in good shape under the circumstances.
