Tokyo, 10 January, /AJMEDIA/
An 8-meter-long whale was spotted near the mouth of the Yodo River in Osaka on Monday, a rare sighting of the large mammal in Osaka Bay, according to the coast guard.
A truck driver on an expressway parking area near the river mouth reported finding a whale-looking animal spouting shortly after 7:30 a.m. A coast guard vessel was dispatched to the site and monitored the whale to keep it from going further upstream.
