Rescue team rushes to help ailing orca spotted off Canada
Nonetheless this has been a joint effort between U.S. and Canadian officials and scientists and hearing they had located J-50 and had begun trying to save her life made me very happy. On the other hand hearing that J-35 is still carrying around her dead calf is heart breaking.
SEATTLE (AP) — Teams of whale experts on Thursday were racing out to sea to help an ailing young killer whale, but they don't plan to intervene to help a mother orca in the same critically endangered pod that has been pushing the body of her dead calf for more than two weeks.
The people involved in this rescue effort had lost sight of the J pod between last Friday and the beginning of this week and then once they found them, they couldn't take immediate action because they were still waiting for appoval from NOAA and the pod had entered Candian waters.
