Spot the Whale
This is my second post with “whale” in the title in as many days. This time, it’s about a grey whale that has headed up the Fraser River and could be in danger.
The young grey whale was spotted three times on Tuesday – once in Langley, B.C., and twice in New Westminster, B.C….
… [Lance] Barrett-Lennard said the whale could be spooked by all the boat traffic on the river, leaving it too disoriented to find its way back to sea.
About nine-metres-long, the young whale was first spotted Monday. If it ends up stranded for any longer than six weeks, the fresh water could damage its skin. For now, Barrett-Lennard is hoping the whale will simply feel its way back to the ocean. [Canada.com]
If spotted, public are asked to call the Vancouver Aquarium. I’m unsure of a specific number or hotline but their main line is (604) 659-3474 and you can also try their website, VanAqua.org
