Whale-like mass found in Ireland
A huge mysterious mass about the size of a whale has been found by scientists lurking in the depths of one of the Ireland's deepest lakes, a National Parks and Wildlife Service spokesman said on Monday.
The discovery was made in the 75-metre deep Muckross lake in Killarney, county Kerry, in the southwest of the country, during an acoustic survey of stocks of Arctic Char.
Arctic Char is a protected species that are a remnant fish from the ice age that became landlocked in the lake.
Ireland is the most southerly area in the world where they are found.
[Regular readers will remember a recent find in South America of a massive pile of blubbery flesh which had scientists scratching their heads, but which was eventually identified as the remains of a sperm whale ... or so goes the official line.]
