A mother and calf humpback whale have strayed 92 miles inland from the Golden Gate Bridge. This is a very distressing situation :cry: :cry: ....everyone is hoping and praying that they will be able to be guided back to sea....they cannot go any further inland....and to make matters worse, it seems one of them has some sort of plastic wrapped around its body. Here's a link to the article with some photos.

Such good news. I began to fear the worse for these two, but tis good to read they are back out where they belong. Thanx for posting the updates Johanna, and keeping us informed.
Lets hope they are spotted alive and well in the near future and in the years to come. :)

You're welcome Sabine....They are fast running out of options...the whales just don't want to go under that bridge for some reason :? :? ...I hope too that this will work. Read more about it here...
