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!
