It is understood that the white whale is about 4 meters long and weighs more than 800 kilograms. Last week, it was found to be mistakenly entered the Seine River by the local people last week.

It is reported that it followed the entrance of the Seine River to go up and swim more than 100 kilometers. Because it has never been eaten, it is very thin when people discovered, and their health is not very good.

Rescuers tried to feed it frozen catfish and live catfish to stimulate its appetite, but it did not accept it. Rescuers said in an interview that scientists hope to guide it to return to the sea, but fail to succeed.

On the 9th, relevant French agencies organized about 80 rescuers to launch actions, including divers, police and veterinary doctors. After 6 hours of hard work, the rescue team successfully pulled the fishing net, lifted the White Whale from the Seine River, and placed it on the barrier.

Subsequently, the rescue personnel transferred it to a refrigerated truck, and the truck would carry the white whale to a pool by the beach. There, the relevant personnel will do further inspection and treatment for the White Whales.

As of now, the reason why this white whale has mistakenly entered the Seine River is unclear, but this is not the first whale lost the Sina River incident this year. In May, a killer whale with porte mold disease broke into the Seine River, and eventually died due to his failure to return to the sea.
