Officials, however, said that the whale was again visible on the horizon after a couple of hours, leading experts to believe that it is dead.

Range forest officer Rajeshree Keer of Ratnagiri said: "There is a 90% chance that the whale is dead, but we will examine it in the morning and give a conclusive answer."
