Within a few hours helped him find a way out of the harbour.
A 12-metre humpback whale swam into the Harbor of the Californian city of Ventura and found the way back to the ocean.
Volunteers from the coast guard rescues the animal during the night.
Patrol coast guard spotted the whale may 20, about three o’clock in the afternoon. The animal was swimming near moored boats in front of the astonished inhabitants. In addition, the whale crashed into the ship, standing at the docks, and almost hit by the screws of the other swimming facilities.
“It was heartbreaking. I mean, we saw an animal in trouble and was not able to help him and to do something meaningful,” said the owner of the city’s port, John Higgins.
For several hours the coastguards and volunteers unsuccessfully tried to lure the whale back into the ocean. They used a hydrophone recorded sounds that animals make at feeding time. The tactic worked, and on the morning of 21 may, the whale managed to find a way out of the harbour.
According to locals, this is the first case when such a large animal swims towards them in the harbour. But despite its size, experts believe that the lost Keith is in adolescence.
