It has gases trapped inside of it.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Locals have asked the province's environment and government services departments for help in removing the whale.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Butler added that they have not yet had any definite answers, so as it stands there is no plan in place for how to deal with the whale.<\/p>\n<p>She noted that should the whale explode, there is no way of knowing what
