Dalawang humpback whales, nailigtas
Nailigtas ng rescue teams ang dalawang na-stranded na humpback whales sa Atlantic coast ng Argentina.
Sinabi ng World Marine Foundation, na ang mga balyena ay na-stranded sa beach ng seaside resort town ng La Lucila del Mar, 220 milya o 360 kilometro timog ng Buenos Aires.
Ayon sa grupo . . . “The first, which was stranded on Sunday, was a juvenile female humpback whale, 32 feet long and approximately eight tons in weight. The second which is a male of the same species, 28 feet long, and approximately seven tones, appeared Monday night.”
Nasa 30 katao ang tumulong sa rescue operation, kabilang ang mga lokal na residente, marine conservationists, Civil Defense members, coast guard officers, firefighters, volunteers at beach lifeguards.
Pahayag pa ng grupo . . . “Upon arriving to survey the first animal’s situation, primary support efforts were immediately carried out, including assuring the individual’s position allowed it to breathe, keeping its pectoral fins underwater in order to stabilize its body temperature as much as possible.”
Nagpasalamat naman si Sergio Rodriguez Heredia, isang biologist sa Rescue Center ng World Marine Foundation, sa mabilis na aksiyon ng pagliligtas sa mga balyena.
