- An attempt to rescue a stranded baby orca on Friday was “close but unsuccessful” according to officials with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The orca’s pregnant mother was beached at low tide two weeks ago and died.
Dozens of people attempted the rescue operation in a remote lagoon on Vancouver Island, trying to move the two-year-old orca calf stranded near Zeballos B.C.
The plan was to hoist the baby orca, nicknamed “Brave Little Hunter” with a giant net onto a flatbed truck. Officials had hoped to carry her a short distance and then release her into open water, but it is unclear when another attempt to rescue her could be made.

Keep up the good work. ❤️❤️
Make it work guys ! It’s been long enough
poor baby :(
Fight Hard, Baby Orca. You will make it. Hang on tight 😢❤
Awe the poor momma and both babies ❤️ pray you can set her free
This poor thing. Too bad they can’t get her with family members who might accept her.
😂
Dude, she's trapped, physically, from low waters. Her family is probably in hysterics right on the other side, this has happened before.
She has a family but she's trapped. The goal is to try to get her out and rejoin her pod.
Sending love and prayers!
Yeah that's gonna help. Send able-bodied men with a plan, some boats, and a whole lotta net.
wow
❤❤❤❤❤❤
The natives stopped the rescue of the killer whale calf in gold river. Multiple times they interfered with its rescue. Shame on the all.
Why? Do they have a better solution?
Do you know why? Pretty judgemental of another culture, and without human intervention, like here, it would be doomed anyway.
Depends which natives though, imo. If they're the disruptive, near-terrorist types, then nevermind. I'm with you on that.
I think the natives should stay out of it and let the professional handle this. They have all the resources and can plan out all options available and decide which is the best course of action. We all want to save her but it's best to let the pros with the most experience to handle this.
@@almontoya5703 Yeah, I'm generally against native interference because they can actually cause some serious issues.
The various blockades claiming random chunks of land (often already developed areas with many residents) literally cuts people off from their families, keeps them from getting home, impedes emergency vehicles, etc.
Not to mention their participation in the various liberal organized disturbances, like that time they blocked a train track.
Imo, they lost a war, so they're stuck dealing with the consequences. If they have issues, they should get aggressive with the federal government, not everyday citizens and especially not humanitarian workers.
@@daveyjones8969 that's most of em fit your description
Where is the pod?
Probably freaking out on the ocean side. This has happened before.
*She's trapped by low waters, there's a physical barrier between them.
Why did you not try to have young one to follow her mother out...?? Had you pulled her mother out to the open water that perhaps something I think she may have followed. Am I incorrect with this idea??
She was beached and gone when they discovered her that’s why she doesn’t wanna leave the area
How could had f up?
Gotta love all the keyboard, orca rescue experts on here. Same ones that were solar eclipse experts last week..
So ridiculous. Use a net to corral it, move it to shallows, and get it in the sling. Poor thing.
Big net no ??
Please don't give up on her thank you to all involved ❤❤
Free Willy 😢😢
Are they feeding the whale?
I wonder if it needs milk
An earlier article said she was hunting and eating birds.
Maybe get the Norwegians or the Finnish involved. They captured the majority of orcas that are in aquariums .
What an effort.
50 yrs ago this would have been a perfect opportunity to steak up for next winter
its nature, the strong survive the weak subside, the mother paid the price and most likely her offspring..its evolution
They’re called calves not “babies”….
baby orcas are calves
When your mom dropped you off at school , did she get fined for littering?
Sorry, to say but this calf is doomed either way, especially if it has no pod to go to.
Two weeks. They could have dredged a channel within two days and allowed the whale to swim out on its own.
Line of boats tied together with nets and stuff and slowly push it to the channel over the course of a couple of days? Video makes it look like a small little harbour? How narrow is the channel? Obviously it must be looking for a way out or is it waiting for mom to come back?
Any chance of luring a pod to the entrance and maybe they can call it out? Lotta questions that probably have been asked already 🤷
Any brave divers wanna try their hand?
Hey what about that semi submersible jet ski watercraft thing that’s painted like an orca?
Maybe it would follow that with a speaker playing whale song🤷
😢 please bring free Willy back home
... absolutely pathetic..
If mere randoms can rescue a humpback whale within hours why the hell has it taken an entire dedicated team 3 weeks to even attempt THEN fail..
because they have to milk as much money as they can
Activists don’t want an aquarium to help they rather her die than have an aquarium save her life and will delay this. I hope she’s catching fish and eating the food there trying to give her. If they do get her how are they going to find her pod
Orca burgers anyone?
Another great moment where(Canada) we look stupid, it's been there for weeks I can't believe that we are still here trying. Oh wait it si in BC that kind of explain itself....
why not fly in a trained one adult orca from sea world to show her the way out
Because it would probably eat it.. fish eat fish.. dog eat dog.. cat eat bird bro!
It’s a carnivorous opportunistic hunter predator..
Let it go
@@bmint Actually cetaceans almost never kill babies of their own species. They're incredibly intelligent and social.
😜
This is one of the dumbest things I've ever read...
Because loading/transporting/unloading a live 4000kg Orca is extremely difficult and also because it wouldn't be able to swim out, when the water receded the land cut this body of water off from the ocean completely.
L
Wow, 3 weeks and the whale is still stranded... don't killer whales also migrate up and down the west coast?
What if this calf already got left behind by it's pod?
Try again, start digging from the ocean or someshit
Salana ayung iasis...

LMAO! We are in 2024 and still don't have any tech developed for these situations that been happening for many many years now. Easiest solution would be an air lift of the Orca. Get a gofund if you have to.
"rescue" lol
Nature, red in tooth in claw, fodder for the hypocritical net zeroes.
How much money are we spending on a god damn wale
😂
Natural Selection.
can you not show a dead whale without telling people there are terrible imagine ahead. I will have nightmares
sounds like you haven't seen much of the internet then -- which is, I suppose, a good thing
Terrible imagine?
Maybe just leave it alone, an let nature be nature
Throw a baby back in the ocean to die? How much is this costing?
It still has a pod to return to, the mother died, but orcas live in pods of like 8 and they look after eachother. As for cost, probably not all that much of the overall budget, nevermind the fact that the cost is paying canadian wages so if anything its a net positive for the economy, but still a tiny blip.
what do you care? your just going back to your parents basement anyways
@colinsellers1143 Probably going to join you in your dad's basement!
Talk to the fishermen and natives. Drag the lagoon and the whale will be free. Might wanna time it for when the most likely adoption pod is nearest. Just sayin. Your welcome. 😁😊
We'll save anything except our Own Citizens. It's getting ridiculous tbh.
We also care more about just about everything else except our own citizens..
It's not exactly a situation where we have to choose. We can do both, help whales and people.
@@dennisheyes4561 yet we don't 🤪
Wow massive amounts of wasted money
Care more about money than a live? Wow
This is the world we live now such a shame
@@roman4892 I care about human lives the ones the liberal party is taxing into oblivion record number of people going to food banks an entire generation will never own a home because of reckless spending and by the way orcas are dicks they throw seals into the air and they explode when they hit they water nature is nature it’s just one wale
Take it to a freaking aquarium for goodness sake. Ridiculous.
Orcas aren’t endangered?!..
They are critically endangered.
Ye. Theres like 70.
The entire species globally? No they're not, the world is not about to lose orcas, but Canada might. Orcas aren't doing so hot along the BC coast, definitely a tragedy to see this if you are a Canadian who likes orcas.
This one is. Orca burgers.
She was definitely abandoned which is odd Orca behavior. No way a pod unintentionally leaves a calf that young on its own, its usually joint to the mother's side.
It said her mother was beached and died after swimming through the narrow channel that got them stuck 💔 she wasn't abandoned, her pregnant mom died 😢 cruel world regardless.
@@nitalee868 You mean sometimes, I must watch the whole video?
can we now save the Palestinian children?
Nah.
Humans are in abundance. Orcas are critically endangered. I don't mean to be rude but that's the cold hard truth. We can worry about wildlife in our vicinity. Why worry about a war going on on the other side of the planet?
Bibi laughs at Canada. Only Biden has the power to stop this.
This World is an evil place for the innocents 😢
Hey who wants a tuna sub or some fish and chips did native eat these and make art out of there bones hahha😊
I actually feel fact in your response 😂
Do people even speak English anymore? I feel like I had a brain aneurysm from reading both of your comments.
I know ☝️😲
Let’s give her to Marine Land. Their last whale just died from neglect and Niagara prosecutor’s region refused to do anything about it, even though there was a whole sanctuary in Californian who was willing to take it.
Hmmm…Canada how mediocre have we become.
The reason is because we don’t have the tools/resources to get this thing safely. Canada is very behind.
PLEASE HELP PLEASE TRY POOR THING I DON'T CARE ABOUT NATURE TAKING ITS COURSE IF I SEE A SOUL NEEDING HELP I WILL
I sure hope that orca makes it back to its family.
