Whales swim under another busy bridge

On Tuesday May 29th The two whales were once again spotted swimming near a bridge in Sacramento River, New York, California. This is a follow up news to the previous one. The Biologist now worry about the whales health from the big wound that they got from boat’s propellers and also the suffrage of the long stay in Fresh water. Antibiotics were injected by using guns and darts, and shooting them into the whales on Saturday to try to slow the damage of the wounds and also ease their pain.
Although they stayed long in the river of California they are making good progress. When they first arrived they swam around 90 miles inland, by now the mother whale and her calf are now at around 40 miles inland making a progress of around 50 miles. During the journey when they first arrived at the river there was an memorial day where all the people swarmed the two sides of the river to catch a glimpse of the whale, and the coast guards had to maintain a 500-yard safety zone around the whales. "It's still anybody's guess. The whales are going to decide what they're going to do and how they're going to do it," said Bernadette Fees, deputy director of the California Department of Fish and Game. I think that the police did well in trying to help the whales to get better and also to help them find their way back to home.
