Zhao Zhonglian, a citizen of Zhoushan: I pushed it out. At first thought it was a shark, a little scared, pushed a few times, it couldn't find direction. (Also) there are a lot of strips in the tour, and this one is equivalent to being left behind.

According to rescuers, this "big fish" is actually a pygmy sperm whale, which belongs to the national second-level protected animal. Due to a minor head injury, rescuers made several attempts to lift it into deep water, but without success.

Finally, rescuers found a small boat, tied the rope to the tail of the dwarf sperm whale, and slowly led it to the deep water under the guidance of the boat. (CCTV reporter Yang Junwei, Ma Xun, Zhoushantai)
