Paris (AP) — French environmentalists Seine 24 hours a day A dangerously thin beluga whale that got lost in the river. So far, they haven't succeeded.
Marine Conservation Group Sea Shepherd France tweeted on Saturday. "Our team replaced the beluga all night. It always ignores the fish offered to him."
The lost beluga came from the Arctic habitat earlier this week. First seen on a distant French river. Subsequent footage of the drone taken by the French fire department shows whales gently meandering in the light green waters of the river between Paris and the Normandy city of Rouen, tens of kilometers inland. Was there.
Conservation activists have been trying to feed herring catches to airy white mammals since Friday. Sea Shepherd calls it a "fight against time" and fears that whales will slowly starve and die in the waterways.
Wool region officials said in a statement Friday night that wildlife was "escaping to boats" and responded to attempts to guide them to safer waters. Said not.
According to the statement, those trying to help the whale try to stay out of the way as much as possible in order to "avoid stress that could worsen his health."
