Four 'Beaked Whales' Rescued From Shallow Waters Off Pantelleria
Italian Coast Guard divers came to the rescue of what were described as four dolphins in the waters of Pantelleria on December 3, though other reports said the creatures were probably Cuvier’s beaked whales.
The large cetaceans, ranging in length from 3.5-6 meters, got into difficulty in shallow waters and were first spotted by the head of a local diving center, according to Trapani Oggi.
The rescue operation was long and difficult, lasting overnight into the morning of December 4, reports said. Credit: YouTube/Guardia Costiera via Storyful
