(Discovery) A fishing village in easternmost Canada tried on Monday to auction off on eBay a sperm whale carcass that washed up onto its shores.
By midday, the town of Cape St. George, Newfoundland had received dozens of bids — the highest topping $2,000 — before running afoul of the online auction site’s rules and the law.
The 12-meter (40-foot) sperm whale carcass washed ashore about a week ago.
