ArabiaWeather - In recent hours, a rare scene has spread widely across social media showing swimmers on Layton Beach, near Perth in Australia, where they came dangerously close to a sperm whale that was swimming close to the shore, and in the video footage, the whale appears as it... It wanders through the water, attracting the attention of beach visitors, before returning to the sea.
Biologists indicated that the whale may be at risk of stranding, considering this behavior unusual and full of risks, and they warned that swimmers who approach in this way expose themselves to the risk of confusing the whale, stressing the importance of leaving the animal and not interfering, and avoiding any rescue attempts by non-professionals. .
