Scoliosis, not collision, likely left whale bent, expert says (as seen on CNN)

As previously posted on February 27, 2011 on original blog

I first came across this story a week ago, and did not know how to to take it.

CNN reports that a large humpback whale was seen around Hawaii and was showing signs of distress. As you can see from the picture, the whale has a similar curve to the pictures we show on our website. The experts are saying that the cause of the disfiguration is scoliosis. The whale's spine can be seen in a state similar to scoliotic curves in humans. I can't help but wonder how that whale must feel. I hope he gets relief soon. Please see the full article at
