A child watches as the body of a beached blue whale is buried at Popoyo beach, at the Nicaraguan pacific coast on November 15. The blue whale, which beached on Friday in the department of Rivas, has been buried by the authorities after a 12-hour attempt by the army, the police and the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (Marena) to return it to sea, according to local media.
