Ein aus dem Wasser springender Wal landete in der Nähe von Portsmouth, New Hampshire, auf einem Fischerboot, brachte es zum Kentern und stürzte die beiden Insassen ins Meer. Beide sind wohlauf und auch der Wal ist vermutlich unverletzt. Jetzt nicht nur mehr die Orcas.
The U.S. Coast Guard said it the whale did not appear to be injured in the encounter. The Coast Guard said the vessel was salvaged.
Sara Morris, of the University of New Hampshire Shoals Marine Laboratory, said the whale was likely lunge feeding when it came in contact with the boat.
„I think one of the key things is that when whales are sighted to encourage boaters to keep their distance,“ Morris said. „The whales are moving around underwater and coming up, potentially in an area different from where they went down, and we want to give them as much leeway as we possibly can to avoid a situation like what you see here.“
