An orca calf stranded in a Canadian lagoon will be airlifted out to reunite with pod, rescuers say

Quick Glance: Rescue Efforts for Stranded Orca Calf in Remote Lagoon
- A rescue team is dedicated to saving an orphaned orca calf that has been stuck for almost two weeks in a remote lagoon on Vancouver Island off the west coast of Canada.
- The calf became stranded in the Zeballos lagoon after its mother got stuck on a sandbar in the shallow waters of the lagoon and passed away on March 23. Authorities are vigilantly observing the calf and devising a strategic plan to relocate the animal and reunite it with its family group.
- Various methods have been tested to encourage the calf to leave the lagoon independently, including playing sounds of other orcas. The rescue operation is scheduled to be executed within the upcoming week in hopes of reuniting the calf with its relatives.
- Orcas, also known as killer whales, are present in all the world’s oceans and are known for their highly social behavior. They live in family pods of up to 20 or more whales. Calves typically remain with their mothers during the first two years of life.
