Oct 2, 2024, 11:41 AM
A group of Russian rescuers and volunteers successfully saved four killer whales stranded off the Kamchatka Peninsula. The whales were stranded in shallow waters for approximately 10 hours, during which local residents tirelessly poured water over them to keep them alive until high tide. The rescue operation involved more than 30 people, who manually turned the whales and ensured they had enough water. The whales were eventually led to deeper waters and swam out to sea, as reported by the SHOT Telegram channel.
