Woman Dies After Whale Surfaces On Tourist Boat In Mexico
#MarineWildlife - A Canadian woman has died after a grey whale crashed into a tourist boat off Mexico.
As the Globe and Mail reports, the 45-year-old woman, who has not been named, was in a vessel with a group of tourists heading towards port in Cabo San Lucas when the whale suddenly surfaced on top of the boat.
Two other passengers were injured in the incident yesterday (Wednesday 11 March), according to the Guardian – which also highlights the high number of grey whales recorded in the area as of late by Mexican authorities.
Cabo, a resort town on the southern tip of Mexico's Baja Peninsula, is a popular tourist destination for whale watching and getting close to marine wildlife.
