Gluttony was the cause of a sperm whale´s death.

A dead sperm whale was found in the Spanish shores. After an autopsy, scientists discovered that the animal´s death was cause by an ambergris stone of 9 kilos that caused an intestinal obstruction and later its death. The stone is made by the kind of crustaceans they eat. In this case it was a giant one and could not be normally eliminated. Ambergris is used my the worst of predrators: us. So it is worth US $500.000. If the sperm whale was killed by it, it might have suffered a lot before dying. I don´t like tummy aches.
