Whale Vomit: Fisherman shocked as dog finds ‘disgusting’ blob on beach – and could be worth £400,000
A fisherman said he was surprised after his dog found a “disgusting” blob on a Scottish beach which could be worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. Patrick Williamson, 37, was walking his dog on a beach in Ayrshire when the pup dropped her ball and ran towards a mysterious rock on the shore. The local resident was sure it was ambergris – also known as whale vomit – and was surprised to find it in the area. The substance, a secretion produced in the intestines of sperm whales, is created by the animals when they cannot regurgitate problem foods. The whale will then expel the valuable ambergris, which will float in the sea until it washes up on the shore – ready to be found by a lucky treasure hunter. Photos, >>click to read<< 12:10
