Mexican authorities believe an international drug smuggling operation is using whales to transit drugs across the US-Mexican border after they discovered no less than 223 pounds of cocaine inside the stomach of a washed up whale near the small fishing town of Anton Lizardo, about 14 miles south from the city of Veracruz.

The discovery of large bags of cocaine washed up on the shore completely baffled local authorities and led to an immediate autopsy of the large sea mammal estimated to weigh over 160 tons.

The large shipment of cocaine, which is the largest quantity of cocaine to ever wash ashore in the region, has resulted in an international inquiry led by the Mexican government in cooperation with the US Drug Enforcement Agency to investigate into the matter.

Specialists believe the smugglers lured the giant mammal with a dead giant squid as bait, as the bags of cocaine seemed to lay inside the digested remains of a squid.
