Rescuers are working to save an orphaned orca calf stranded in a remote British Columbia lagoon
cnn.com/2024/04/06/americas/canada-orca-calf-orphan-rescue/
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.

Quick Glance: Dallas Heat Islands Experience Intense Temperatures
- Concerns are raised about the potential worsening of critical heat in certain key areas of Dallas, impacting particularly vulnerable populations, as emphasized by advocates.
- These urbanized areas that experience more heat than the surrounding countryside are termed heat islands due to the increased absorption and release of sun's warmth by buildings and roads.
