The NSRI saved a baby pygmy whale in Stilbaai earlier this week, by loading it onto its rescue vehicle, and taking it out to sea when it beached, reports The Herald.
The whale had got stuck at a sandbank, and NSRI volunteers tried to get the whale over the sandbank, and to get it to swim out to the deeper waters, but the tide washed the whale back to shore.
Pygmy whales are rarely seen in South African coastal waters, and are one of the the smallest whale species, roughly the size of dolphins. They are shy and usually swim on their own.
