Orca Cries Out For People To Help Her, Humans Answer With 6-Hour Rescue

Orca Cries Out For People To Help Her, Humans Answer With 6-Hour Rescue
After an orca called out for help, rescuers spent the entire day making sure that she stayed alive long enough for the tide to return and save the day.

It was an orca's version of calling 911 — and these humans rushed to help the killer whale stranded on a rocky shoreline in low tide.

Members spent the day keeping the orca wet and cool, covering her with cloth to shield her from the sun and dousing her with water from a tank, until the tide returned more than eight hours later and lifted her from the rocks.

The killer whale swam away, almost immediately reuniting with her pod.
