Large baleen whale? Occam's razor says humpback.

Why humpback specifically?

Just way more likely than any other kind of baleen whale

But why is that? Because they often live close to the shore? Because they have the largest population? Some identifiable characteristics in the corpse? Sorry, i don't know much about baleen whales.

There is a car parked next to the carcass on Carmarthenshire beach.
