Frantic Efforts To save Stranded Whales.
Hi,
.
At the moment a frantic rescue operation is being carried out on an isolated New Zealand beach.
A large pod of about 70 Pilot Whales has been stranded there.
.
Approximately one hundred volunteers are trying, non-stop, to save the lives of as many whales as they can, keeping the unlucky creatures wet by using buckets of water.
.
.
The whales that manage to survive their ordeal, will be carried to a calmer place, to be released back into gentler waters there.
.
How wonderful that these people care enough to give such help to the creatures who so desperately need them.
Fingers crossed!
.
And many thanks again to the BBC.
