The Word “Gigantic” Does A Disservice To The Size Of This Dead Whale’s Tongue

Once again, available art compels me to break my own rule about not posting on dead beached whale. I mean, seriously, look at the size of the tongue on this finback whale that washed up dead in Provincetown earlier in the week. Local officials say the swelling is due to decomposition gasses.

And apparently this has happened at least once before, see below photo from Alaska in 2007.
