Lifeguards rescue stranded baby whale shark

Lifeguards near Cape Town were quick to react on January 4, after a baby whale shark they deemed likely to have been separated from its mother got stranded at a local beach. In this video, which was recorded by a members of the Clifton Surf Lifesaving Club, rescuers can be seen pushing the calf back into deeper water. The club said this was a “once-in-a-lifetime moment” for beachgoers and lifeguards, as whale sharks do not normally occur in this location, preferring warm tropical waters. #shorts Credit: Clifton Surf Lifesaving Club via Storyful Subscribe to CTV News to watch more videos: https://www.youtube.com/ctvnews Connect with CTV News: For live updates and latest headlines visit: http://www.ctvnews.ca/ For breaking news, fast, download the CTV News App: https://www.ctvnews.ca/app Must-watch stories and full programs at http://www.ctvnews.ca/video CTV News on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/discover/CTV-News CTV News on X (formerly Twitter): https://twitter.com/CTVNews CTV News on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/CTVNEWS CTV News on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/company/ctv-news --- CTV News is Canada's most-watched news organization both locally and nationally, and has a network of national, international, and local news operations.
