OT - Colin, RIP little fella.

Sorry mate, banged the post out a bit too quickly.

The baby whale which was trying to suckle boats thinking they wee its mother.

Cheers.....Lionel.

Jim, 'Colin' was a small juvenile humpback whale that swam into Pittwater, north of Sydney Harbour in the last 3 or 4 days. It was seen nuzzling a 40' yacht looking for milk.

Lots of people looked for ways to save it but it seems there was no practical solution in the time available; meantime the whale became weak and distressed so the National Parks people euthanased it today.

Colin was renamed 'Colette' after she was discovered to be female. Meantime an adult humpback has been sighted south of Sydney being eaten by sharks. It's been assumed she was Colette's mother.

Cheers, RayJen

Just wondering if the so called experts could still take some kind of
a sample from the dead Whale washed up on the beach, anything
is better than nothing, might come in handy if it happens again,
it might not be possible, but who knows.

Mate, what you say is partially correct. If the animal was orphaned 1000 kms out to sea then no one would have noticed.

This happened in our own back yard and I would expect human nature to kick in and try to help a vunerable creature.

Cheers....Lionel.

your a better person than me Lionel, If I saw DIO in trouble I don't think human nature would kick in for me.

I'm not going to say "F" all about our mate DIO this time....seems every time i do , a certain person accuses me of being a bully or a basher...lol..

Have to say I agree with DOI on this.

Seems to me that the dribble bottle is almost full, without much room left for common sense.

Animals and humans cark it every day. What's so different here, apart from the usual media carry on.

I think bringing in the Whale Whisperer saw the dribble bottle overflow.

Give me a break.

Hi Willem
Will back you up on that one mate, it just the cycle of life nothing more, nothing less??

Cheers Steve.

Yep its nature at work.
The poor little bugger was doomed from the start if that was its dead mother out there in the ocean. It happens every other day but not usually where we can see it. That's what is different about this case.

Sad but apparently unavoidable according to the experts.

Yep,
Saw that happen the other day when a road train went through a mob of roos.

They ended up in trees, fences, all over the place.

Talk about a dominator.

Cheers

"experts"????

not sure there were too many of 'em

Michael,

Next thing you know they will be wanting to hold a memorial service for the thing.

Its going to be a slow news week next week following the olympics so I guess the media can play on that for a few days.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

Id better get my suit off to the dry cleaners today LOL!! Michael

how about a public holiday
