The River Thames whale, affectionately nicknamed Willy by Londoners, was a juvenile female northern bottlenose whale which was discovered swimming in the River Thames in central London on Friday 20 January 2006. According to the BBC, she was five metres (16-18ft) long and weighed about twelve tonnes (24,400 lb). The whale appeared to have been lost, as her normal habitat would have been around the coasts of the far north of Scotland and Northern Ireland, and in the seas around the Arctic Ocean. It was the first time the species had been seen in the Thames since records began in 1913. She died from convulsions as she was being rescued shortly after 19:00 GMT on 21 January 2006.

  • La Baleine de la Tamise est le surnom donné à une jeune femelle hyperodon arctique (Hyperoodon ampullatus, espèce de baleine à bec) apparue dans la Tamise en plein cœur de Londres le 20 janvier 2006. D'après la BBC, elle mesurait 5 mètres de long et pesait environ 7 tonnes. Il semblerait que l'animal se soit retrouvé à cet endroit après s'être perdu, son habitat naturel étant les côtes du nord de l'Irlande et de l'Écosse et les mers de l'océan Arctique. C'est la première fois qu'un tel spécimen est observé dans la Tamise depuis 1913. Elle a nagé jusqu'à l'Albert Bridge, avant que les experts se mettent à essayer de la conduire jusqu'à la mer du Nord. Néanmoins, elle est morte à environ 19h00 (UTC) le 21 janvier. (fr)
