The rescue process for two whales (Ziphius cavirostris) that escaped from shallow waters off two west coasts of Corfu on Sunday morning has been successfully completed, RIS said.
The first zebra erupted off the coast of Arilla northwest of Corfu and was soon driven deep below with the help of volunteer rescuers and locals who located the marine mammal while efforts focused on the second beak caught in the Gordiou . on the southwest side of the island.
With the mobilization of the Ministry of Environment and Energy, specialist veterinarians from the Hellenic Center for Marine Mammal Rescue and Care “Arion” rushed to the scene, examining the animals and taking blood samples to follow the analysis of the samples by the laboratory.
After many hours of effort, veterinarians, led by Professor of Veterinary Medicine at AUTh Anastasia Komninou, with the help of local divers and volunteers, managed to free the second Zifi, which returned to the deep waters.
Among the volunteer rescuers was the famous Heraklion basketball player Gaios Skordilis.
