A dead sperm whale has washed on the banks of Lake Zurich.
The carcass was surrounded by experts.
There were immediate theories, the animal was frozen in a glacier or it was a pet kept by an oligarch.
It is, of course, a fake.
The hyper realistic 15-metre-long model has been set up by a Belgium group, the Captain Boomer Collective, together with the Zurich Theatre Spektakel and the marine conservation organization KYMA.
It’s designed to highlight the issue of marine environmental destruction.
Campaigners say that although Switzerland is landlocked, the country must still act as pollution from this country will eventually end in the ocean.
The whale on the Utoquai will stay for the next couple of days.
