A beluga whale has been spotted in the Seine River in France.
BBCThe beluga whale was first spotted about 70 kilometers north of Paris on August 2, according to the report. Since then, he has been lost, and there are concerns about his health.
ABC Newsreports that French conservation groups are working hard to feed the beluga whales, but are not accepting them.
A video posted by ABC News on its official Twitter account shows her emaciated body slowly swimming down the Seine.
According to the BBC, rescuers have tried to feed him frozen herring and live trout, but he doesn’t seem to be eating either and is trying to give him vitamins. Rescuers are hoping the beluga whales will swim back to their native Arctic habitat.
Experts say it’s baffling why they strayed so far from the cold waters of their native habitat.
Since the beluga whales are covered with ice in the fall, they sometimes go south in search of food, but it is unusual for them to go this far. A dead killer whale was also found in the Seine in Normandy in May.
