In Kamchatka, locals and rescuers helped two adult killer whales and two calves when they got stuck in a shallow estuary at low tide.
People were dousing them with water for about ten hours while waiting for the tide to come in. Afterwards, the people escorted the whales into the sea by boat, the EMERCOM of Russia said.
Rescuers and volunteers had to manually move the killer whales to a deeper place. It was impossible to use any equipment on the silty bottom of the estuary. More than 30 people took part in the operation to rescue the whales.
More videos from the rescue operation available on Pravda.Ru Telegram channel.
