The whale attracts many local people to the area to take photos. |
The sea mammal is nearly eight metres long and weighs around two tonnes. |
The Bryde's whale is considered to be one of the "great whales" and is among a group that includes blue whales and humpback whales named after Johan Bryde, a South African shipping company owner and whaler of Norwegian ancestry who built the first whaling stations in South Africa in the early 20th century. |
The sight of the blue whale is a rare phenomenon in recent years, with local fishermen believing that the whale will bring good luck. |
The Bryde's whale is included in the list of protected endangered marine species, meaning that it is forbidden to fish or harm them in Vietnam. |
Mui Ganh-Hoai Hai beach is situated about 100 kilometres from the coastal city of Quy Nhon. |
