In the city of La Paz, Mexico, they are celebrating a very wonderful thing that happened. Last Sunday, some good Samaritans decided to help save a stranded humpback whale. The 30-foot whale was swimming on a shoal during low tide and had gotten stuck. Thanks to the good people of this world, they helped free the whale after numerous hours of hard labor. The whale was pulled free thanks to some ropes too. The whale was stranded on El Coromuel Beach. After they helped the whale, the whale ended up going back into the La Paz Bay, via the Sea of Cortez. People are hoping that they don`t end up seeing the whale on a beach somewhere dead.
In the article it was said that whales tend to swim closer to land when they are young, or feeling sick. They are not sure what the main cause of the whale swimming so close was, but they know he was just so tired from trying to get free. Humpback whales are currently migrating towards Alaskan waters.
As I was reading the comments below the article, I agree with all of the people that were saying that their happy that there are still some good people in the world who are willing to spend time to free a poor whale, without any type of payments. Mexico has been in the news way to often about their drug and other problems. I`m glad they got in the news for doing something good this time.
