Roseau, Dominica (TDN) Whale enthusiasts and nature lovers around the world are talking about a rarely before photographed event of a spooked sperm whale releasing a “poop-splosion.” The event was photographed in the waters off Dominica by Keri Wilk, 30, from Canada.

According to Wilk, "Four of us got into the water near the whale, then it slowly approached us, stopped, and pointed itself straight down before the storm began.”

“At first, it seemed like a regular bowel movement but rather than continuing its dive down, it remained at the surface and continued to defecate for a startling length of time.

"Four of us looked at each other with confusion, then back at the whale, expecting that any second its call from nature would come to an end.

"Instead, the whale bobbed up and down, spun in circles and waved the poo in every direction for several minutes while we just sat back and watched.”

By the time the ‘poo-nado’ was completed, it spanned over a hundred feet in diameter. "I've never heard of it happening before, and I don't know anyone that has had this happen, it very well could be the first time that it has been photographically documented," Kirk stated.

Dominica is the only country in the world to have sperm whales resident in its waters all year round; and twenty-one other species of whale and dolphin have also been spotted around the island.
