Treat whales.
The reporter learned that this whale is a small sperm whale, weighing more than hundreds of pounds, and several people can't lift it. On the morning of the 29th, when the workers of the Hainan branch of Hunan Sixth Engineering Co., Ltd. were working nearby, they found the whale that was injured and stranded on the beach, and quickly reported it to the relevant person in charge of the Tongguling Scenic Area.
Under the guidance of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Hainan Province, the Blue Ribbon Marine Conservation Association, the Blue Ocean Conservation and Rescue Center, the staff of the Wenchang Agricultural and Rural Bureau, and the members of the whale and dolphin rescue team rushed to the scene in time to participate in the rescue operation together with the staff and tourists of the Tongguling National Nature Reserve.
Whales stranded.
The whale had several wounds on its body and was trapped on the tidal flats unable to move. Rescuers covered the whale's body with a damp cloth and continued to splash water on the whale to keep the whale's surface moist. Blue Ocean Conservation Centre staff performed preliminary treatment of the whale's wounds. Because the whales were too heavy, the construction team at the construction site drove a forklift and carefully moved the whales to the rescue truck and sent them to the Blue Ocean Conservation and Rescue Center for further treatment. "To treat the whale, we were busy from morning until 4pm. This whale is so pathetic that it hurts to watch. We were all relieved to have saved it. Xiaomei, a staff member of the Blue Ribbon Marine Conservation Association, told reporters.
