Strangers aid beached mother whale and calf in Florida
In Jacksonville Beach Florida about 50 volunteers join Marine Patrol officers to save a 10 foot 1500 pound mother pigmy sperm whale and her day old calf beached after suspected propeller or net injury. They kept the animals from drying out and from sun exposure while guiding them to a marine park in St Augustine. One teen girl in a bikini held the calf for three hours despite freezing water and urban crowds.
