Silent but violent

Whale fart caught on film for the first time.

The researchers claim this is the first photograph of a minke whale letting one go in the icy waters of Antarctica. It was taken from the bow of a research vessel.

"We got away from the bow of the ship very quickly ... it does stink," said Nick Gales, a research scientist from the Australian Antarctic Division.

Ahaha. Indeed. As the initial headline pointed out: "Whale flatulence stuns scientists."
