A Community Came Together To Save Orca Whales and the Result Is Heartwarming
On April 19th, four orcas, including a calf, got trapped in a shallow bay that was filled with stones and ice in the Sea of Okhotsk off Sakhalin Island, Russia.
RT reports that it took eight hours for the members of the Russian Emergencies Ministry and a local fishing company to save the animals. The rescuers used hooks to push the chunks of ice away from the whales. The larger slabs were towed away thanks to a rope and a vehicle on the shore.
