"In the evening, some fishermen spotted the whale in the sea. And in the morning, the whale was beached on Santolo Island," said Lukman, a local fisherman.
The whale was estimated to measure 12-15 metres long and weigh about 5 tonnes.
During the day, several whales come ashore along the Garut coast.
"In this sea, there are many whales. Fishermen often see them at dawn, at around 3 am," Lukman stated.
The dead whale is believed to be a dolphin whale.(IGT)
