Click here to go to CNN and read about a beached humpback whale off the coast of Brazil. I just feel so bad when I hear stories like this, especially if he doesn't survive. I didn't realize humpbacks got so big....it says he weighs 10 tons! Maybe the tugboats will be able to move him.

Aww, that's really sad news :cry: It's really terrible when you hear about beached whales and people struggling to save them only to have the whale pass away...

Even though the chances of survival are slim I pray that the whale will be lucky enough to pull through. May fate be kind on him.

:cry: We should give this beached whale a name, so it can be remembered as something other than "the beached whale".

It's really sad when you hear stories like this, because you can't really help but hope for the best. :XP: And that really sucks :XP:
