Obviously they can live longer. At least this one could have if it had survived the second shot. Hope they got some good steaks.

“The 49-foot male whale died when it was shot with a similar projectile last month, and the older device was found buried beneath its blubber as hunters carved it with a chain saw for harvesting.”

Killed an 130 year old whale. Just something wrong with that. Not the hunt itself.

All the more reason to ban commercial whaling.
