Efforts to rescue a bottlenose dolphin at Maracas Bay

Vets from the Uni­ver­si­ty of the West In­dies are try­ing des­per­ate­ly try­ing to save a mel­on-head­ed whale that beached it­self on Mara­cas Bay this morn­ing.

Beach­go­ers say the whale was first seen short­ly be­fore 10 am.

Life­guards on the beach towed it back in­to the sea and stayed for over two hours be­fore fur­ther help ar­rived.

Short­ly af­ter noon, the whale was brought to shore.

Res­cuers have cor­doned off a part of the shore­line as they work fever­ish­ly to save the whale.

Ear­li­er this week four whales were found in Moru­ga.
