Also thanks to @walterjsinnes.bsky.social for taking these amazing close up images- these are of kidney, heart and brain

Many thanks to all who helped with the Balmedie minke whale necropsy yesterday: moderate body condition, trauma related to the stranding but no indication of boat strike, entanglement, or severe infection, no feeding prior to death, fatty changes in the liver and a possible underlying meningitis.
