Updated | By East Coast Breakfast
The celebration at the end when the baby whale is safely back in the water will restore your faith in humanity!
This video is testament to the fact that we can achieve so much more when we all work together for the good of others.
A nine-meter long baby whale was found washed ashore on a beach near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. According to Indian Express, the mammal had been stranded for about 24-hours before civilians came together to rescue it.
Pictures and videos have gone viral on Facebook showing people successfully saving the mammoth creature, returning it to the ocean.
Civilians dug a deep ditch around the animal so as to let the water flow in to help it float back into the sea, but after a while, the baby whale sprang back to life and wiggled its tail, making desperate attempts to wade into the water.
Finally, success!
