French rescue services are assessing the health of a beluga that has wandered up the Seine river
French rescue services and environmental experts were trying to assess the health of a beluga whale that has wandered up the Seine river and are pondering rescue options for a creature more suited to cold Arctic waters.
Drone footage showed the whale swimming slowly, its white silhouette just below the waterline and coming up to breathe. “The challenge now will be to help feed it, and try to accompany it towards the ocean,” Lamya Essemlali, the head of environmental group Sea Shepherd France, said.The all-white belugas normally live in Arctic and sub-Arctic oceans, although they do sometimes stray into more southern waters and river estuaries and can temporarily survive in freshwater.
