Two whales beached in Newfoundland and locals arrived to try save them - Catherine - 10-29-2026
Two Pilot Whales were beached at Point May Newfoundland. The locals worked fast and did everything possible to rescue the whales.
It took four hours, but they got the whales back into the water.

That was a lot of work and you have to admire the locals working with whatever they had to save the whales.
The one whale is doing fine and should be okay. Sadly the other whale, a female, didn't make it.
Still, it is a remarkable rescue because of of the whales lived. They had no chance lying on the beach.
