I guess even whales have heard of the beauties of Paris. I love beluga whales and hope this one survives and gets back to its natural environment.
"Environmentalists will attempt to save the life of a dangerously thin beluga whale that is stranded in the Seine River west of Paris.
They will on Tuesday try and move the four-metre mammal to a nearby saltwater basin so that it can be given urgent medical care.
If the whale does not die during the transfer -- and then responds well to treatment -- it could be released back into the open sea.
Conservationists were hoping to spare it the fate of another, an orca, that strayed into and then died in the Seine in May. "
Update: Sadly, the whale didn't survive.
