    Whale flatulence stuns scientists

    IT'S one of the unfortunate consequences of being a mammal - flatulence.

    And, more unfortunately for a group of whale researchers, nature took its course right under their noses - literally.
    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.
