A juvenile humpback whale that had become stranded in shallow water in La Paz Bay was rescued Sunday by authorities and citizens who used a rope and boats to pull the cetacean into deeper water. According to Octavo Dia, the rescue effort lasted two-plus hours and the whale seemed to swim freely away despite the long and very dramatic ordeal. (The accompanying Cabovision video shows part of the rescue effort, including the whale being pulled from the shoal. It does not show the whale swimming to freedom.) "The effort followed the protocol for marine mammal rescue," Octavo Dia reported. "The struggle to save the whale lasted over two hours, but the successful results incited elated uproar in the concerned witnesses." The whale had become stranded beyond El Coromuel Beach during low tide. El Coromuel is north of La Paz, which is the capital of Baja California Sur. Among those assisting in the rescue effort were members of a local stranding network. Delete the scoop?

While heading out on a fishing trip yesterday morning along the Gold Coast, Burt and a friend ran across a beached dolphin. Lying 150 feet from the water line, the stranded animal appeared to have been trapped by the quickly receding tide and was now clinging to life in the sand.
"We thought he was dead to start with," says Burt. "But when he saw us it was like, 'The rescuers (are) coming to get me'. He was excited."
