Conservationists and scientists are working together to try and solve the mystery of how a 44ft whale carcass ended up on the bow of a cruise liner docking in New York.<br/><br/>The whale was discovered as the ship approached the Port of Brooklyn over the weekend.<br/><br/>An autopsy identified the deceased marine mammal as a mature female sei whale, an endangered species typically found in deep waters far from land.<br/><br/>It is unclear if the whale’s death came before or after its contact with the vessel, according to the Atlantic Marine Conservation Society.
