HUMPBACK WHALE STRANDED IN BRAZIL'S BEACH


BUZIOS, Brazil - Rescuers are trying to set free a 25-ton humpback whale stranded on a sand bank in southeastern Brazil.
Diogo Chaves of the environment department at the beach resort city of Buzios says the 39- foot-long (12-meter-long) whale got stranded on Monday while feeding on a school of small fish in shallow waters.
  • He said Tuesday that rescuers have tied ropes around the whale’s body and that a tugboat will try to take it to open sea when the tide rises.
  • Chaves said he did not know what caused the whale to swim so close to shore.
  • Earlier this month, marine scientists said a record 75 humpback whales have been found dead on the Brazilian coast this year. The previous high was 41 in 2007. Most died at sea and their carcasses washed ashore.
