Stranded and lost, humpback whale calf bonds with yacht off Sydney
SYDNEY: A lost humpback whale calf has bonded with a yacht it seems to think is its mother. The less than two-month-old calf was sighted on Sunday off Sydney, and on Monday repeatedly tried to suckle from the yacht, which it would not leave.
Rescuers towed the yacht out to sea, and the calf finally detached from the boat but still swam nearby. The calf appeared exhausted but rescuers hoped it would continue out to sea and search for its mother or another pod of whales. “The outlook is not good, but we are giving the calf its only option. It can’t be fed, and in fact we wouldn’t know what to feed it” because it is not weaned, an official said. — AP
