Friday Night Soother: Free Chilly
by digby
Wild orcas needed help — so people plunged into the freezing waters of the Sea of Okhotsk in far east Russia.
Trapped by ice blocks in shallow water, four orcas, including one calf, were stranded on stones just a few yards from the shore.
The massive effort of rescuers, who pushed ice blocks aside and tried to show the stranded orcas a path to safety, was caught on video.
The frightened orcas could be heard crying as their rescuers gently moved them toward the right path.
