- A dramatic rescue operation is being considered off the northern coast of Vancouver Island, as rescuers race against time to save an orphaned killer whale calf.
Its mother died nearly two weeks prior, with attempts to coax the calf out of the lagoon it is lingering in being unsuccessful up to this point.
As Neetu Garcha explains, experts are now considering airlifting the orca via helicopter into the open ocean.

💔💔, So glad they are acting to save this Beautiful animal, so he can be united with his pod.❤
God, please let this rescue go smoothly and safely for everyone involved. Especially for that sweet baby Orca. 🤟💜🙏
We're cheering for you Brave Little Hunter. ❤️
When a mother orca lost her baby not long ago, she mourned the baby for some time, not letting go. Perhaps, this baby is staying close to the mother, unwilling to move on. Could the mother's corpse be moved (eg hauled by boat), so that the baby follows to the pod?
So sad the mother died. I hope the calf will soon be rescued.
Even worse, the Mother was pregnant..... Sad 😢
Hopefully we can save that baby 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Why do I think of the disabled and seniors who cant affort a trip from North Island down to Victoria to see a specialist
In some natural and artificial occurrences rarity dictates, meaning the motherless orca is rare and it captured so much attention that funds/ efforts spent helping it seem much ; contrastively humans not provided with ALL their needs may have been overlooked since humans are over 8 billion and their needs can be limitless (too numerous to be taken care of all the time).
What does that have to do with any of this?? 🤨
Christina, you must be a city dweller, otherwise you would get what I mean
@@lostmoose9994 sadly I am. 😊✌️
They captured killer whales in the 60,s to put in zoos, it dose t seem that hard to net a smaller one with nets in the first place.
netting it would be only the start of a very complicated 'rescue'. where do you take it? where is the larger family group it came from? how will it survive without it's mother. Terry, perhaps you have the answers as a killer whale scientist?
seals about to be eaten by polar bears "come rescue me!"
Can the babe survive without its mother or pod? I don’t understand what they are doing the baby left alone at sea seems like perfect picking for predators
They're hoping that if it gets out of the inlet it can be reunited with its pod, which will protect it. I don't think it's so young that it still needs its mother's milk.
It may will become violent and antisocial without a pod .... but I'm not a fish expert
@@MrUranium238 obviously you are not a fish expert because the subject here is about an Orca, a marine mammal, not a fish.
I agree

I hope they save a calf. Glad it's getting lots of attention. I used to live out there, and these guys are magical!
My gosh we can put a man on the moon but we can't figure out how to airlift a baby orca back out to sea
they better NOT take her to a aquarium, she belongs freedom
I was once walking along shore in Victoria and found a baby orca corpse on the shore with obvious tool or screw marks. Was so young it was about the size of a large dog. Pretty sad.
I called it in and they were like meh leave it there for the wildlife nature will sort itself out.
And you know they were right.
🙏🙏🙏
Why the calf still alone what are waiting for?? To find her death like the mother??
❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
As heartbreaking as this is, that's nature. Will you air lift wildlife when you can't house and can barely feed your own population Canada?

Quote: _"Canada Slaughtered 841 Million Animals in 2022"._ By the way, it is only about "land animals". Destroyed with Canadian "help" Ukrainians _(which are not an animals)_ are not included as well. I like this story about one orca. Hypocrisy at finest.
They should send it to Marineland 🤷
Move it to Ukraine. Airlifted. If you have no reasons to spend money in Canada.
I wonder if it would be possible to move it to the Vancouver Aquarium, so it could be rehabilitated there, then released when it got older?

Why bring it to Marineland, his family is long gone by nos
I'm a human being.
How bout rescuing me from the horror of my treatable daily 4 yr. Pelvic pain?
How much is it costing to save this calf anyway?
Pathetic, with all the suffering human beings on dry land.
The orca isn't a whiny human so we want to help it
Too bad. How about helping get some food and aid to the children of Gaza?
Their parents voted for Hamas. Consequences.
They're getting it, about 800 tons of food enter the place on trucks daily. How much more do you want?
wrong video. focus. take your ritalin.

*👉 It is the shame! Why has no one found out yet whether this orca belongs to the LGBT+ community?!*
Even Orca run out NDP BC and gas price 212.9 CAD per liter
Ah man thats horrible! Whales rule!! Heart breaking please save that wonderful creature!!
