It seems like it’s been wandering around Osaka Bay since last year〜.
Apparently, it’s over 7 meters long. There’s also information saying it doesn’t seem extremely weak, but maybe it doesn’t look very energetic either? I’m worried whether it can safely make its way back offshore…
A lot of people enjoy boating, yachting, and other activities around Ashiyahama, but it may have wandered nearby, so please be careful not to collide with it〜!
