Flooding in the area with high tides brought it up onto shore maybe? |

As the article said, this time of year, Humpbacks are usually chilling closer to the antarctic ocean 9,000 kms to the south. |

High water in the Amazon also coincides with Spring snow melt. |

Hmmm.... Maybe. I still think it was a failed invasion attempt by the rapidly evolving Humpback whale army hellbent on exacting revenge for 400 years of whaling. |

llama66 llama66: DrCaleb DrCaleb: High water in the Amazon also coincides with Spring snow melt. That would mean water out, not tide in. Water melts in the Andes, and floods the Amazon basin annually. Lots of sea creatures go inland looking for food, like Dolphins. It's really odd to see video of Dolphins swimming in the bushes and trees. |

There is a species of Dolphin that is native to the amazon river. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_river_dolphin no word on whether its rapey like its ocean cousins. |
