Residents of the Wilderness rallied to assist a baby whale which beached on Thursday.
NSRI Wilderness deputy station commander, Torsten Henschel, said they were called out at around 7pm on Thursday night following reports of a baby whale beached at Leentjiesklip in Wilderness.
He says when NSRI volunteers and Cape Nature Conservation officers arrived on the scene they found that a lot of members of the public were in the process of assisting a four metre baby whale, back into the water.
Henschel says the whale, believed to a Southern Right whale, appeared to healthy and strong.
